UPDATE: I would not buy this bed again. While it is pretty, it is not sturdy. This bed is rickety at-best and terribly made at worst. I would be surprised if it lasts us another year. My husband is looking at how to reinforce the bed so it doesn't collapse on us. Hopefully he can figure something out.
The bed is beautiful. The velvet is very soft and the perfect shade of light gray. It really is the exact aesthetic I wanted. Some things to note:
Mine came with a damaged side rail. There is a missing thread in the pre-drilled hole and since it lines up with multiples other pieces, there was no solution to add another hole. Called customer support and they were very helpful. They said they would send another rail, but there is no eta on delivery since they have none in stock. Not sure whether we will be able to even attach it once it does arrive since the slats are permanently fixed, which is the second issue. Once you fit the plastic caps on the slats and pound them into the frame, you cannot remove the end caps. My husband made the mistake of not putting the slats on in the proper order and it was a struggle to fix the mistake. Other than that, the bed is great.
