LOVE the bed and the fabric is a beautiful sandy taupe denim of excellent quality. It was exactly the look and fabric I wanted for my college sons bedroom. I just put this bed together and in less than an hour. I was a little confused that only one box was delivered but remembered reading a review on this bed that said ALL the pieces and hardware are in a back zippered panel in the back of the headboard. Ingenious! The only thing I'd recommend is to get two more wood slats to support the frame. Four doesn't seem strong enough but we will see!
