The bed comes with everything you need to assemble the bed (including the bed frame, head board and foot board).  The bed frame itself is better quality than most you get from a mattress store, although note that the frame is not on rollers.  Rather it sits on metal feet that have plastic covers that can slide across the floor to move the bed.  A bit harder to move than frames with wheels but not a big deal, and the feet look better than those frames with rollers.  From the picture, it almost looks like there is a hint of pewter/grey in color, but it is actually painted black as described, and looks really nice.  Overall, the bed is sturdy and looks great!  Definitely recommended.
