I ordered this bed with the hopes that "Matte Black" would actually be somewhat Black. However when I got it, it was more rustic bronze. I think the design of this bed is super cute so I spraypainted the frame black and now it's even super cute. I read somewhere that it requires a box spring, but I don't think that's true. The mattress will just sit relatively low like the ikea white metal bed. The bed was easy to put together and looks great. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because of the misleading color. other than that's it perfect.

My photos are after I painted the bed.  

Pros: Great value, easy to assemble
Cons: Not considered matte black.
