This is a lovely bed! I had been looking for a long time for a bed that looked like a clamshell for my daughters seahorse themed bedroom! The bed was easy to assembled and took only about an hour. The headboard can be mounted at 4 positions (the description says 2 only, but in reality there are more options). The bed has enough clearance underneath to put drawers (which I did - very convenient for extra storage). The lights are a nice touch. I would strongly recommend this bed, especially for the price! The velvet is beautiful as is the color.
