Limited color options, but I intend to re-cover on my own. Needed this size/height bed so I can slide my existing storage bins under neath. Price of the headboard/frame was fantastic, so figured I'd give it a shot. Cushioning is good. Slats under bed are terrible...I'm afraid I will easily break them. I will likely replace the slats with a full size 1/2" thick sheet of plywood (I realize less flexibility, but I'd feel more at ease). The slats are also very recessed below the side frames, so the mattress seems to sink lower...again I think the plywood will help elevate the bed just enough to be more level with the side frames. Feet are plastic, not wood, but dark in color so can't tell from afar. Assembly was not too complicated, just a bit time consuming and much easier with two people. Overall good purchase for the price. Needs some tweaking, but so far worth it!
