Looks just as pictured. Great simple and sleek modern design, exactly what i wanted. Fairly simple to put together and nice materials too. A couple weeks later and so far its not creaky at all. High enough to keep things underneath, although if youre like me and want the frame to show then you dont want your blanket or a bedskirt to hang over the frame, which means theres quite a lot of visibility to see under. For me, that means pushing items a bit deeper in and keeping less stuff under than i used to, so that you cant see all the things i have under unless you squat down. Thats just something to consider. Still worth it in my opinion.
