This bed is beautiful! I love the studs on the sides of the headboard and it’s actually really dark black. I know some other beds sold on here say that it’s black and they end up being dark brown or something but no, not this one. This one is true to its description. Setting it up was kind of a pain because of the amount of work and never doing it before but I was able to get it done finally and it 
was worth it. Love everything about this bed! I would 100 recommend it )
