Don’t buy this bed unless you are Handy and are able to modify the bed. I bought it for the headboard and the frame was a bonus for me. We used our steel bed frame and had to modify many things to get it to work and we were able to use the footboard also for looks. The velvet is not really velvet but a felt material. The bed frame if had to use is very cheap and I can’t see it lasting long and a weight limit of probably 200lbs and not sturdy. Also it needs boxsprings if using the frame set with it as it’s not a platform bed. Overall we are happy as we were looking for something cheap to stage the room yet still allow us to have storage underneath using our metal frame. It’s worth the $ if u are handy and able to make modifications to make it more sturdy.
