It came and it looks just like the picture including the color. My husband laughed when he found out I ordered a bed online that needed assembly and was under $400.... he is now convinced. He agrees it is NOT cheap... Putting it together took a little time (roughly an hour) but very much common sense and you should definitely have two people. Now I have to get use to it because my other bed was higher and this being a platform bed it is lower to the ground.
