The bed is exactly as expected!  It was pretty straightforward to assemble and even includes extra parts depending on if you decide to use a box spring or not.  There is a little bit of a gap between the outside edge of our box spring and the inside of the bed frame but this isn't enough of an annoyance for me to knock it down a star.  Be warned, this bed comes in 4 separate boxes and I received them in 3 different deliveries.  Seems like a really inefficient way to do this (does not impact the actual product itself),  just something I think Wayfair can improve upon.  Otherwise, would highly recommend this bed!  Super sturdy, bold appearance and easy to assemble!
