Chose this for strength, awesome storage possibilities because of height & not needing a box spring and it came in white. Well packaged, shipped early, & grateful to have delivery brought into my apt. as it was heavy. Because of size, wasn't sure the headboard was included but upon opening everything was there securely packed. Instructions are pictures & at one point I substituted longer bolts to connect certain parts & then went back to original size. Working by myself, (I'm 70+) used ingenuity, and life experiences of assembling furniture, this great product came together offering me lots of storage underneath in a small room. I definitely would recommend this product. In the process of moving and once settled, will add pictures.
