The color is definitely more orange than the picture implies so if you’re expecting a soft natural yellow color this isn’t it. I might cover it with a gel stain eventually but for now it’ll do. It was relatively easy to put together and felt sturdy. After a few weeks of sleeping on it, it was feeling loose and rickety. We found that all of the bolts had loosened. Maybe just from settling? We tightened them up and it’s been fine since then. Just keep the Allen wrench that it comes with if you don’t have one in your toolset. Overall it’s a simple low profile bed frame, did the job for us.
