Shipped quickly and came in two boxes. Easy to put together. Took two of us about 40 minutes. Bought the black one and put it in a room freshly painted a sage green. Dressed the bed with a white comforter. This is not a platform bed and needs a box spring so it sits up high. Looks stately. The bed, the paint, and the comforter all for about $200. Beautiful room makeover on a budget. Highly recommend the bed.
