It’s pretty much true to the pictures. The headboard is a little bit flimsy. The real issue I had was with the overwhelming chemical smell. I knew that it contained formaldehyde but I didn’t research anything about off-gasing before buying and I didn’t realize how strong it would smell. It has faded a bit over the past week but it’s definitely still there. It might be okay if you leave it outside for a few days to air out. But for that reason though, I would not buy this again.
