I noticed so many people wrote such fabulous reviews of this bed online. They were right it is very good quality and high end for the price. [...]YAY! My husband and his 2 friends put it together in less then an hour. I had read on previous reviews that the material on the headboard can get smudged if it's put together with someone who may have slightly dirty hands/fingers. When it came out of the box the head and footboard were covered in plastic so I told the boys not to take the covers off until the bed was all put togther. As well as to wash their hands before they started - we had just ate dinner! They did and it LOOKS stunning! I have a lot of tufted furniture in my home so this piece fits in perfectly. We have had it for a month now and the bed looks great!
