Lovely bed - looks just like the photos.  The upholstery is nice and soft.  Assembly was easy and we were impressed by how compact the delivery was (all components you need to assemble are fitted into a zipped up space behind the headboard).  My only complaint is the middle 'foot' at the base of the bed.  It's right in the middle and we've stubbed our toes on it several times when making the bed/helping to get the kids in/out.  I would definitely recommend this bed.
