As described. Very sturdy and easy to assemble. The ad photos clearly show that the posts on the headboard have to be attached with screws, but I didn't see that until the bed arrived. I was a bit disappointed with that. A better design would have been to make the heads of the bolts recessed and provide wood plugs to cover the 3 large metal screw heads on each post. I'm keeping it, because it would cost at least another $500 to get the West Elm version without the screw on headboard. Overall, a good product.
