I waited for this bed to be back in stock. The upholstered section was shipped separately from the frame. Everything is equal to or better than I expected in quality and condition. It definitely matches the price paid for this amazing bed. It is the perfect anchor for my large master bedroom with 10' ceilings. It might seem a bit big for a home with 8' ceilings. It is the most amazing bed I have ever purchased and better than anything I have found in our local furniture stores. I am very pleased with this purchase.
