I love this bed! It took me about two hours to put together by myself. It totally fits the vibe I’m going for, and is very sturdy. No squeaks or movement at all ) My cat has taken a liking to it, peering out the window while standing on the headboard. There are some claw marks on the side of the bed he jumps up on, but that’s to be expected with the leather material, and the blemishes aren’t noticeable unless you’re up close looking for them. If you have pets that are scratchers or gnawers, keep in mind that this material is not very forgiving.
