The velvet is a really nice color and has a good feel. The drawers are not attached to the bed, which I didn't realize. They are on wheels and just roll in and out under the bed, as opposed to being on drawer tracks that are attached to the bed..... which feels a little odd and cheap. The headboard also isn't as high as it looks in the pictures which was disappointing.  Other than that it is a nice sturdy bed, and it serves its purpose.
