Photo is a bit dark but we don’t have great lighting in my room. The color turned out darker than anticipated but I’m very happy with it! I was wanting to find the darker color for a low price and this bed hit that right on the head. It was a bit challenging to put together because one of the sides of the headboard did not have the appropriate holes drilled through the fabric, so we had to do that ourselves. But the holes for the screws were there, they were just beneath the solid fabric. So once we did that, it was smooth sailing. We’ve had the bed for about 2 months now and it’s incredibly solid and does not move or make sound. I highly recommend this bed!! The price and quality is wonderful.
