We ordered a King Size in Talc, which looks like linen. For the priced right, mature and luxurious looking without spending a ton of money. You do need a box spring for the bed (we purchased the box spring and mattress online from Sam's Club). My husband had no trouble putting together the bed by himself. I would have given it five stars if the black bars--that hold up the headboard--were covered with fabric or could have been completely hidden by the mattress and bedding. I might consider looking out for linen fabric to match to cover the bars, but it's not a deal-breaker.  All in all, very happy with the purchase.
