The bed arrived as scheduled. It was relatively easy to put together, though, as others have said, it took some effort and patience to get all the bolts to fit together (which is why it got 4 stars instead of 5). I chose the beige, the color was pretty close the what was shown on-line. The material is a  woven canvas texture, which was unexpected, but looks nice. For the money and effort, I'm happy with the product.
