This bed is very well made. It looks just like the photo. It is a little low. I plan to get a box spring mattress for it. My husband put it together in about half an hour, or less. I did read the reviews about part of it being in the headboard. Glad that was mentioned. Just look for the red string hanging out of the back of the headboard. There's a little zippered compartment with some pieces you will need in it. Nice, oatmeal color. It goes with everything. Very pleased.
