exactly as pictured   assembly was not bad; put together in approximately 3 hours.   First shipment, the base with telescoping drawers and built in power station was damaged.   I called Atlantic Furniture and received a claim # over the phone.  I received a confirmation email within 4 hours and the entire base unit was replaced within 7 days.  Excellent customer service and thankfully I did not have to return the damaged, very heavy base unit.  I have not slept on this but the mattress seems very comfortable; extremely easy to open/close by one person.   Great option for a guest bed or even a child bed.   I would not recommend for daily use by an adult; the bed is a twin size and somewhat narrow for daily use.
