At first glance it looks good. However, the material is more like inexpensive ultra suede not velvet. The frame doesn't allow the foot end piece to fit up to the side pieces, so there is a gap at the place where they should join so the end looks warped. Also, one of the holes for the skew to attach the headboard wasn't drilled deep enough so the headboard shakes a bit and is noisy. Will have to have a handy man fix it for me. Other than that, the assembly was straight forward. I put the headboard together the first night and when the second package arrived the next day, I completed the task, alone, in about an hour and a half.
