It looks great, just as the picture. Really love it. The foundation is really flimsy and after the mattress was placed on top the whole bed swayed from side to side. Clearly unable to support the weight of he mattress with two people sleeping on top (sleeping not moving around). We had to reinforce the base of the bed (mid portion of the frame with wood blocks) so that it supported the bed. I did not return it because it really looks great and we were able to fox the problem quite easily. I will not complain given the price i paid. It really does look nice if you are willing to secure it yourself.
