It is a little flimsy feeling when it is all put together. For the price though it is about what you would expect. The blue velvet is very very deep blue. A little deeper than what we wanted but still looks nice. Was pretty simple to put together. Took my wife and I about 30 mins from start to finish. It is used in a guest bedroom and won't be slept on that much so hopefully it holds up for what we need it for.
