The bed is beautiful and well made, we are very happy with it. The fabric on the headboard and rails is much softer than I was expecting and the color is a beautiful neutral cream that I find goes with basically everything. Putting it together everything felt sturdy and nothing felt cheaply made. One warning I must give is that while it was very easy to put together it was also very time consuming. I think it took about 3 hours to finish. This was not a problem for my fiancee and I but if you are not able or willing to sit on the floor for a few hours putting it together consider getting the option to have someone else assemble it.
