I read numerous reviews before ordering this bed. I wanted my new bed to be affordable, delivered for free, but look nice and feel comfortable. And I'm glad I found this one that totally meets my expectations. I would say, for a bed at this price, honestly any bed below $500, it's quite a steal.
First, it does look pretty to me. I like the simple but elegant design. I also like the cream colour that matches any walls or furniture.
Second, this bed is sturdy and very comfortable. The bed is not solid wood. But after securely tightening all the screws, we are confident that the bed is sturdy enough to last years. We really like the fabric. It's very comfortable to lean against the headboard. I saw a review saying that the fabric is not velvet. It does feel like velvet to me, very comfortable to touch and lean against. However, I'm not a velvet expert. This is definitely not linen or some lousy material. Maybe it's velvet-like flannel? Anyhow, I think it feels nice. I read another review saying the headboard leans forward. I would say it's most possibly because of improper installation. My headboard has no such problem, and I feel that it shouldn't in the future, as we did all the screws well.
Third, the installation is easy and straightforward. I was impressed that all the parts were numbered, and the instructions were so clear. And the factory is so considerate to have packed in quite some extra screws. The whole design is simple but very effective, exactly the kind we should try to find when we have to assemble ourselves.
Fourth, I particularly like the end corner design, like the part marked out in red in my second picture. I paid special attention to this when I searched and checked many beds online. It's crucial that the end board be slightly taller than the side boards, as otherwise there's nothing to hold the mattress in place, and the mattress will keep sliding away from the headboard. My previous bed that I got rid of had exactly that problem, so annoying. I would say this small detail actually matters a lot, a lot for a bed to be comfortable.
Last but not least, I applaud the trustworthy customer service. There was a problem with my order status. I communicated with them. They always got back in a timely manner, in well-written English, and in the end, gave me a satisfactory solution. This kind of trustworthy store deserves good business.
