This is one of the best online purchases I have made. For once, the color is accurately shown, and you cannot beat the price. Keep in mind, the padding under the upholstery is not as plush as it might be on a West Elm or other retail store bed, but it is not an issue. The footboard gives it such a clean look, and the bed is fully supported by the slats. We have our old boxspring on the bed just until we can get rid of it, and while it doesn't look quite as sleek, the lines are still good. Also, I paid for the set-up and haul-away service--best part of the purchase! They were in and out in less than half an hour, and very nice and professional.
