This bed looks gorgeous once it’s assembled. We got the king size and this is what it looks like before and after adding an 11 inch mattress. The nail heads were gold on our beige-colored model.  I had to take off one star for the instructions, though - they were awful. They even forgot to put numbers on one page of the instructions, so you’re basically attaching two mystery parts together with a mystery-sized bolt and washer. Assembly took my husband and I about 2 12 hours, but I think it would have been more like two hours if the instructions had been better. One thing to note is that several parts as well as the instructions are packed into a zippered compartment on the back of the headboard, so double-check there if you’re missing any pieces. So far the bed feels sturdy and has held up to our family of four (including two jumping kids) being on it at a time.
