Great bed, Not easy to assemble but it is a firm strong bed so no complaints for a one-time assembly. Some instructions in the booklet were confusing  (for example, a previous step has a picture of an assembly that is to be made in a future step) so I had to dissemble and redo some steps a couple of times but the result turned out to be great!! the headboard color is beautiful and the velvet feels high quality and smooth. I have the heaviest 16" mattress on top of it and have no complaints so far in terms of strength. Would recommend!
