The look is everything I want and the quality is not to bad either. It is how it appears in the pictures. Headboard is perfect height footboard is as well. The foundation structure that the mattress sits on is amazingly sturdy. I have purchased many other beds from this manufacturer and they are not made this well. The only negative thing I have to say is the headboard portion your pillows rest on is a little flimsy. I don't think it is going to break due to the supports however it is flimsy. All in all for the money I could not be happier. Pros: Amazing Foundation Cons: Flimsy upper Headboard.
