It's exactly as described and looks great in my space with my 14" inch mattress. Only small disappointment is that the wooden elements aren't real wood - they're some sort of composite material with laminates to give the appearance of wood. One of these pieces at the top of the bed frame arrived with some of the laminate peeled away. Hoping to replace just that one piece. Otherwise, I'm very pleased given the price point, aesthetic, and the extra storage space.
