Very pretty, easy to assemble. Upholstery does have an odor, but I already don't notice it as much, have had the bed for about 3 days. Slats seem sturdy, love all the extra support legs under the bed. There are small gaps around our Casper king mattress, but with a comforter I don't notice it. Sorry, the lighting isn't great, bed is lighter than it appears in my picture posted with this review.
