Looks exactly like photo. Came in three individual boxes, all of which were fairly heavy. Instructions were very unclear and difficult to follow, took me around 2 hours to assemble. The headboard does take up a significant amount of space, so the bed is slightly bigger than your average full-sized frame. Mattress fits snugly, but leaves a gap in the edges as it's not entirely square. Seems sturdy. The legs and side-boards are made out of solid wood which gives of a higher-quality feel. Slats and center support beam are made of fairly cheap wood though, which reminds you that this was a budget piece. This is however covered by the mattress, so you won't be seeing it on a daily basis. Does not come with felt pads for the legs, so I recommend buying a pack to avoid scraping your floors. All-in-all a good purchase, especially for the price.
