I needed a basic platform bed without a headboard to match my existing bedroom furniture. This bed works great, the color is true to the picture on line,I could have used a little less orange-gold tone, but the wood colors do blend nicely. It gives my bedroom more contemporary look, exactly what I wanted. We installed the shorter legs, my new mattress is very high and we are not using a box spring. It made the mattress even more comfortable. The assembly was simple, well, my husband did it.
