The bed looks as pictured, and was easy to assemble. The only problem is that this bed is for two teenagers and the bottom bunk is too low to sit up in. The top bunk has enough space where you're able to sit up in. This may be my mistake but I made sure to measure everything about the bed. I think this bed would be good for little kids but you would have to buy a new one when they begin to grow. Another thing is that the stickers that are on some of the panels are hard to take off.
