The actual bed frame looks good (just like the picture) but the middle support beams can be seen because the bed sits so high off the ground and the design of the middle support beam just isn't very good.  If we keep this bed we will have to stain the middle support beams to hopefully reduce their visibility.   Also the actual frame is too big for our king size mattress (there's about a  3 inch gap at the bottom and the top of the bed). Not my favorite purchase by any means and we aren't happy that we will have to make adjustments to this bed just to make it's flaws not stand out.
