I like this bed. It is very sturdy and no squeaks. We’ve had it for a few months now and we are very pleased. 
It arrived in perfect condition with no warps, dents, or scratches. I don’t know how easily it will scratch but I’m not going to try. 
The rails are black. There are some screws that hang out a ways (too long) from the back of the headboard. Not a problem with getting injured by them, since the bed is against a wall, or getting scratches on the wall but I guess there could be a situation where they could be a nuisance. 
 Our mattress is very tall (Dreamcloud hybrid) so we bought a 4” low profile box. 
The only gripe I have is that the backside of the footboard is a textured fabric covering a very hard surface, not metal like all other components. When I tuck the sheet or comforter down between the footboard and mattress it feels like I’m getting a rug burn! I included a pic of the fabric.
