I was very happy with the delivery.  The delivery men were very nice and professional. My husband put the bed together within 45 minutes by himself. I was looking for something less bulky than I had before and this fit the bill. I am very satified with the bed and as always witj Wayfair. The headboard and platform are a cloth material, nice dark gray. As you can see when I put all my pillows on the bed it is hard to see the headboard but I am okay with that
