Looks exactly as it does in the picture. It's a nice, modern-ish piece that isn't loud or aggressive, but kind of blends into the rest of the room. My girlfriend and I both love it. There was a little bit of bending in two of the metal pieces so some of them didn't fit together perfectly and we had to leave a few screws out, but we were still able to get the bed together and it holds up fine. That's been my experience with pretty much every piece of furniture online in this price range, so you pay for what you get. Definitely worth it, would buy again.
