Love the dark brown color of the pipes. The bed seems sturdy, took some time to assemble, but not bad. Be aware of part orientation, my husband said it was easy to have some parts reversed. I’d recommend the bed though! Love it. We are both heavier people, and the support is fantastic, the metal doesn’t give. Great for those who prefer firmer set ups. No creaking, but may move if not on carpet. The main feet have rubber-ish stoppers so it won’t mark your floor, but the middle support will need gliders for protection on the hard floor.
