This bed is very nice! We got it for our 3-year-old's bedroom. The soft velvet looks and feels very classy, and it's the perfect height for our son to climb in and out of. My husband put it together, and he said it's very sturdy. We didn't see anywhere in the listing that mentioned what size mattress to get, so we got a 10 inch and there's a slight gap between the headboard and the mattress. I would definitely recommend using a 12 inch mattress with this headboard so you don't see any sort of gap. All-in-all, we're very happy with our purchase, and our son loves his new bed!
