Beautiful bed! We just got ours in for our guest bedroom.  I was able to assemble it myself (at 7 months pregnant) and it was quick and easy! The bed seems great quality and very sturdy.  I think the bed is definitely more black than bronze as the pictures depict which is perfect as i was wanting a black metal bed! As for the comments on the frame being much bigger than the matter size, for our queen, I think it's a great size! There is a little space but once you have bedding on it, it's nice to be able to tuck it between the mattress and footboard without it bunching up.
