This is a great bed! Well made, easy to set up with one person, looks perfect in my room and is very stable. Mahogany gold Hmmm, not sure why it's called that - looks closer to black, not quite, but enough so that it fits in well with my antique wicker & wrought iron side chair, and black drapery hardware. It totally *makes* my bedroom, which now looks like a designer did it! Thanks Wayfair for a great deal on a great bed!
