I fell in love with a bed from another vendor that is similar in design to this one, made in the U.S., and very high in  quality, but also is much higher in cost. I simply could not fit that bed into my current budget. This bed is quite stable, attractive, and goes amazingly well with my dresser, bedside table and floor lamp. It is neutral and can be used with most colors and styles. I am pleased that the headboard is tall enough to look impressive on a wall without overwhelming it. The metal posts and trim have a very rich deep brown metallic finish. The fabric is a light taupe linen. Make sure to put the frame together exactly as described in the directions. Don't rely on intuition. It takes two people to handle the fourth corner. This is a good buy and I recommend it!
