It looks just like the photo I will give the look a 5 star. The reason why I gave it a 3 star is because its poorly constructed. The slats are very thin doesnt seem like it will last for very long but if you want it to be more secure go to home depot  get yourself some 1in slats. Other than that the bed is beautiful I just wish the slats were made of stronger wood. You can get it but just buy slats that you feel more comfortable with. Im keeping the bed because I love the design thats the reason I bought it in the first place.
