The design is beautiful and it does look great up but the side frames and underneath were a taupe color so we had to use a bed skirt with the bed. I could try to color match the black and paint over it but the the bunkie boards that are suggested to buy since there isn’t any support through the center of the frame they show from the side of the bed since the side frames of the bed are flat and don’t have raised area to hide the boards we still would have to use a bed skirt
