This bed is a beautiful as it looks in the pictures, but even the pictures don't fully capture the feel. I'm not finished setting up the bed, however the quality is pretty much top notch. The metal bars were sturdy and not scratched or dinged up. The texture of the material is very soft, shiny & velvety as described. It came clean, untarnished & professionally packed. Plus the delivery team were so professional & kind! No complaints whatsoever! Whatever you do...GET THIS BED you will not regret it!
