Bought the bed for guest bedroom.  Sturdy and efficient.  The velvet is soft.  The feet are gold, but I wanted silver, however not a deal breaker.  I put it together by myself (33 y.o. Female) in 2 hours with a screwdriver and the little tools that come with the box.  The only issue is it didnt come with any written instructions, so I literally went by looking at the picture on the box, but got it done.  Requires box spring and I got a memory foam mattress to go on top.
