The bed and headboard are very nice looking. The silk material is a nice quality rich black. I just wish the headboard did not have the space between the bottom frame. It would be much nicer if the headboard went all the way down without showing the metal supports. Also, there were tons of pieces to put together. I am pretty handy, but I was intimidated by all the piece, so I paid someone to put it together for me. Overall I am happy with the bed for the price.
