For the cost of the bed and the description of the wood. I expected better. Between the vertical column on the headboard, I'm not sure what material is that but its thinner and don't thing it real wood. Back stain of headboard is horrible and only works because it will be place against the wall. Also came with a scratch. My son decided to keep so we accepted the $10 discount offered after contacted wayfair. I would not buy again. We chose this one because the color looked like it will match the current furniture in my son's room. On the bright side, color matches.
