This bed is lovely, just as pictured. Took some time to assemble but thats mainly due to my incompetence. The fabric seems to be high quality/hard wearing and will be easy to keep clean from cat fluff. The ottoman mechanism is very strong though - so beware. Until it had the mattress on top to weigh it down, it was springing upwards which in future will make things very easy. Will not require that much energy to open it. Plus you can choose the layout of the ottoman to suit your room either having it open from the left or right hand side which again is useful to have that control. It looks more expensive than it is. Very happy with my purchase.
