I do like this bed a lot but some of the headboard materials were slightly damaged from packing andor shipment. It was too much of a hassle to returnrisk the same outcome. My headboard has deep indentations in the fabric from how it was packaged that do not look great. My pillows cover it up and they may come out with a fabric steamer or iron. Putting it together is a two person job and not everything lines up perfectly but mine is still sturdy after doing the best I could. The “bookcase” portion is not very deep. I can’t actually put books in it but it does work well for storage of various smaller items.
