Meridian Furniture Sedona Rich Velvet King Bed in Cream

I received my bed faster than expected which was perfect cause I just had moved to a new house. It came in two separate boxes. One for the headboard and another longer box for the footboard and slats. The bed is exactly what you see and it's very sturdy. I put it together with a friend and it was easier than I thought, just figuring out what went where then it was a piece of cake! You need two ppl to assemble it for balancing it and screwing in the screws which they provide you with. Other than the color looking a little blue greyish and not a taupe grey like in the picture it's a very gorgeous bed in person. I wanted something different and went for it! You'll be pleased. Oh yeah and you really don't need a boxspring for this bed. I put a 13"" king mattress with a 3"" memory foam and I was set.
