Appearance wise, the bed looks very nice. The fabric isn't of the highest quality, I will probably have to steam the wrinkles out. I agree with another reviewer - if you do more than an 8" mattress on top, you will not be able to see the detail of the back frame. The bed was a bit of a pain to put together. On the last step (of course) the screw would not go in on the back. The pre-drilled hole was crooked, so we ended up making our own holes to secure the back to the frame.
