Love this bed.  This is the second bed I've ordered from Joss & Main and I'm so happy with the price and quality.  

Picture accuracy:  color was slightly darker than what is pictured and more textured but nice.

Assembly:  good instructions and all parts included (except a screwdriver).  The side rails take a little finessing to get aligned but I was able to assemble it solo in about two hours.

Gapping:  there is a thumbs width between the mattress and the bed but not noticeable with bedding.  Note that I don't have it on a box spring, this might make a difference.
