I ordered a King size in the Grey Velvet and I am in love. The bed is sturdy and the slats are strong. The velvet is so lush and the gold gives it a luxury feeling. Next to my purple wall the grey looks like it has a hint of purple. But I am happy with that! My sister and I built the bed and together and it only took us about an hour. I would recommend getting two thin pieces of plywood to prevent your mattress from getting the indents from the slats. There is no need for a box spring unless you like a tall bed. Overall, I highly recommended this bed!
