Now that it's all put together, it does look exactly like the picture. It is nice material and good quality. My problem with it is that we just bought a new mattress at like 15 inches thick. And it sits very very low. Like we feel it needs a box spring now. But that's going to ruin the whole look of it I think. Also that headboard has a huge gap between your mattress and your pillows will fall through. Another reason for the box spring. That's my only problems with it. Wish it sat higher and the headboard lower.
