Just as gorgeous as in the picture.  I was a little nervous when I ordered because of reviews saying parts were missing or didn't line up correctly, but everything was in the box and everything put together perfectly.  The only thing that sucked was the parts box had opened inside the big box so we had to take the time to find everything, but it was all there.  Looks great all out together.  

Pros: Love the fabric headboard and the finish.  
Cons: Took a couple hours to assemble, but it is a canopy bed, so we expected that.
