For the price, you can’t beat it! This bed is so trendy and cute. Looks expensive. For a wrought iron canopy bed, it’s pretty sturdy. Assembly was easy. The finish is a rough textured, matte black. Like some of the other reviews, mine came with some minor scuffs on it (which is the reason for the 4 stars) but they are hardly noticeable. I’m sure I could find a way to touch up but I hardly notice them so I highly doubt anyone else will. This bed has the perfect modern farmhouse feel!
