While I doubt that the retail price is ever paid, I have to say that this is a good-looking and solid bed frame made ever so much more by the most reasonable price.  Once we got all the pieces laid out, it took less than a half hour to assemble.  It sits solidly on its four corners with an additional bar support down the middle.  I am sure this will last.  I like the color which I would describe as deep bronze--nearly black with a dark brown hue.  It is classic.

Pros: Easy assembly, solid, good value
Cons: It is a "masculine" look, so if you want a feminine bedroom pick another style.
