This is a handsome piece of furniture that is modern, clean, yet plays well with different decor styles. Construction is not super high end (there are some wrinkles here and there), but I think it looks fantastic overall. The fabric covering is soft to touch and velvet like. The build is pretty sturdy and so far makes little to no noise after about a week even with, ahem, vigorous use. Ill keep this review updated if it starts squeaking. Assembly is not the easiest, but definitely doable, even alone (but do yourself a favor and grab an electric drill and long hex/allen bit 5/32nds and 3/16ths). Also, I am always a fan of any company that provides extra hardware. The size is just a smidge large for my queen size mattress; this leaves a bit of a gap around the edges and catches my shin occasionally (it is not painful, though, due to the soft padding). One thing to note is that immediately after unpacking and assembling, there is a bit of a warehouse smell, kind of like walking into a hardware store. Its basically the smell of plywood, however, this has gotten less and less over the course of the past week. It certainly is not unbearable. At just under $300, this is relatively affordable when compared to other similar options available locally for me. Despite all my little niggles, I am pretty happy with it. Four stars.
Good looking, affordable, made well enough
