Since I upgraded my mattress to a king I of course was forced to buy a new bed and frame.  The color is slightly lighter than expected, not as hefty as what it’s replacing but serves it’s purpose.  I will say that for this being a king sized bed, the slats sent along with it are a bit flimsy and not enough to properly support the mattresses.  I ended up going to Lowe’s to buy wood to make more.  Overall it’s a very good buy and value.
