exactly as described, and love the height! the texture is a grainy metal, which is nicer but i wish the description would say that because we got this frame in response to a bed bug issue, so that the little bugs wouldn't be able to climb on the metal.
the 4 stars is because delivery was challenging - FedEx sucks. They claimed they came but they never buzzed, it's impossible to get through to them, and we had to go get the package from a local store instead. It worked for us because we have an SUV but not ideal if you don't.
