I needed a new bed because my old one was no good so I decided to go on Wayfair to choose from their wonderful selection; and found this one so beautiful and elegant!! In the model pics the bed looks okay, but in real life or in people’s reviews this bed is gorgeous!! I would buy it again if I had another bedroom to put it in. It came in 2 boxes; one for all the rails and the other one with the headboard. Assembly took my husband and I about 2 hrs but it was well worth it!! I’m soo in love with this bed!! I recommend anyone to buy it! Very good quality and very sturdy! All leather and wood! The color says black but it’s somewhere between dark brown and black. I guess it depends on which angle you look at it. I’ve had this bed for 2 weeks and so far so good, no issues and hope it doesn’t give me any.
