Unfortunately like some of the other reviews our bed came not in the best condition...the panel on the headboard was not fully flushed against the decorating boards outlining the headboard. This was in a few spots. Also when put together, the actual bed frame was not straight. The top where you lay your head was nice and even with the mattress but down at your feet the platform slats were showing...not sure if we did anything wrong when putting together but we followed the directions step-by-step. The bed looks good in our guest room.
