The fabric is very nice and sturdy, as well as easy to clean.  It looks a lot nicer than what we paid for it.  You will need a comforter or duvet that hangs well over the sides, as the box spring is visible.  My other issue is that we have a 3-4 inch gap between the top of our Simmons Beautyrest mattress, and the frame itself.  I don't notice it when lying down flat because of our pillows; however, it can be annoying when sitting up in bed reading.  Otherwise, it's a lovely piece and we get lots of compliments on it.
