I love the soft velvet fabric on this bed. I got it in the color azure. I thought it would be a really bright blue but it looks closer to navy, which worked great with the navy curtains. Easy to assemble and appears to be good quality. We have the headboard on its higher setting with an 8 inch mattress. It leaves a gap, but pillows cover it. My son wants it on highest. Likes the look of it better.
