Sorry I forgot to take a photo before I put the mattress on the bed. The wood is solid and all  pieces look a beautiful walnut color￼￼.  I put a 14” Idle hybrid mattress (which weighs a lot) on and then the 2 of us weigh around 350-400lbs together.  The bed hasn’t made the slightest sound.  The instructions were easy and took about 45 minutes to put it together. We love this bed and it looks way more expensive than it was. We also are very happy we didn’t pay 1200 for the same bed elsewhere!
