Got the dark wood look. Put in a spare room. Perfect for what it's for.  The biggest down side is just that is should have been higher.  I have a box spring and 12 in mattress and after you put pillows on, you can't see the headboard. Maybe the top and one plank. For a guest room I would love to see the headboard more because the bed is made all the time with pillows on it.  But I paid $88 for it so it serves it's purpose. My husband tried to get it as high as he can attach it.
