First, Id like to say that nowhere in the description does it say what material the upholstery is. Second, Its unfortunate that I had to take to the reviews to figure this out. Third, after reading several reviews, and veiwing several photos of this daybed, I came to the conclusion that this daybed was a VELVET material. This is what I was looking for and what I wanted HOWEVER, this was absolutely NOT what I received. The material on the daybed that I received is a thin, cheap material. Buyer beware, its like a lottery, you never know what youre going to get. 
Since this is part of a bedroom make over that I gave my daughter for her upcoming birthday, she was overly exited about it and cried when I told her it was not what we ordered and I wanted to return it. She pleaded with me to just keep it, that it was okay so I did. I am very upset with this as it put me in a tough situation with my daughter and I DID NOT GET WHAT I PAID FOR -( .
