the bed looks like the picture. the material is of good quality. The storage is wonderful, but no bottom, just some type of black cloth. so it's not like drawer with solid sides to it. none the less, it's big and easy to lift. the assembly was pretty easy, took an hour+. our matrass (8inch) sits great on it and it is very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this and I am very happy with it. 4 stars instead of 5 because of the missing bottom for the storage part, but I think I can find a creative solution :)
