This king bed is exactly as expected and true to photos (I ordered the beige colour and live in Victoria, Canada). I spent a lot of time reading reviews of various beds and looking at others peoples photos they had uploaded before I choose this bed. Nothing was damaged in delivery and it arrived in 3 packages within 3 weeks of placing the order on Wayfair. Construction took just under an hour with 3 people working on it. There was no smell to this after unpacking it, and once built seems very sturdy and solid. I really wished I could see a photo of the bed without a mattress on it, so Ive attached one to this review.
