Just like the other reviews, the finish is easily scratched and smudged. Rubbing it with a dish cloth does seem to help but we've had it for less than week.
If you do not have a bed frame for your mattress, you'll need to buy one separately. This does not come with one...which came as a surprise to us! 
The material is heavy and thick. The canopy bars are a little thin but should work just fine!
