My old bed broke in the middle of the night and I was on the fence for a minute about what to purchase. I'm happy I made the decision of choosing this one. the color is not black black but dark grey which is "charcoal" so don't be deceived. When I tell you this was the easiest piece of furniture I ever put together! This bed looks so chic, expensive, and lux I'm surprised it's at a 400 price point. The entire assembly process was about an hour, the material is good for the price, and I like the overall look and feel it has. Came in a matter of days and no issues so far. I will say invest in a bed board or boxspring just to have some extra support.
