The material isn’t cheap and the bed is sturdy. I was worried because it’s just slats that it would be wobbly, but it’s not. Assembly wasn’t too bad, I recommend doing it with a friend as four hands are better than two. The beige color is true to the picture. Box spring shows from side but if you have sheets like a normal person it doesn’t matter. Cute and cozy looking when I tuck sheets in by footboard. No regrets
