This is a beautiful and solid bed! The dark walnut is a deep and rich color. I love it! It has a simple MCM1960s look and feel with the modern detail of a strong slat platform base. I can easily recommend this bed to anyone who is considering it! The one thing I was surprised about and found interesting (but its all good!) Is that the headboard is actually 2 boards together, not one solid board. Go ahead and order this bed. You wont be disappointed!!
