As Pretty As It Is In The Photo, It Doesn'T Show The Rich Marbled Effect With Antique Gold Accents. The Bed Is Very Strong And Stable, Much More So Than I Was Expecting. It Wasn'T To Hard To Put Together (I'M A Fifty Nine Year Old Female) But An Extra Set Of Hands Would'Ve Helped. The Price Was The Best Surprise Of All As I Compared It To All The Other Big Online Stores And It Beat Out The Lowest By $100.00. Woo Hoo! Bonus!!
