Order arrived in timely manner. Bed post matched well with the dresser/night stand that I inherited for the guest room. Bed looks visibly attractive (as pictured). Bedframe is metal, but the brown color makes it appear wood-like from a distance. The only thing that goes against it is that the balls on each post are removable and do not screw in. Therefore can come off easily if you grab the post from the top and apply pressure.
