Bed was exactly as described and as it looks in the picture, I am VERY happy with it!
Buyer beware entire bed is delivered in two boxes each box weighing close to 100 pds so you will need help carrying it to its location and or you will have to take out of box right where it was placed from UPS and carry the boards one by one to it's intended location.
Directions are relatively easy to follow and it took close to 4 hours to assemble. 
The fact that once assembled when it comes time to move it at a later date bed can then be broken down into 3 manageable sections by removing only 8 screws. Brilliant idea!!
