Perfect little frame for my new room and SUPER light! It was super easy to assemble; however, I will say you might want a second person to hold some things up while you screw. I had two people putting together mine and feel it made it way easier. Seems sturdy so far, but disclaimer: I haven't slept on it yet. 
The "off white" upholstery is a warm cream color and the gold frame is more like mustard gold. If you're looking for something gold gold, this is not it (close, but not it). 
Also, mine came with the footboard that is pictured, even though it says the footboard is not included.
