The bed looks like as it does in the advertisement. The assembly only required a wrench (included) and a Phillips screwdriver. The instructions indicate that it only take 15 min to set up. It actually takes about  40 min if you take your time and follow the instructions to do it right and firm. The bed looks great once its assembled. The fabric on one of the side rails was a little soiled and there was one staple sticking out of the fabric. For the price, design and time to assemble, I recommend this product.
