Exactly how it was described. Limited instructions, but very easy to figure out.I was able to put it together alone -- it takes a bit of time, but once you understand how everything fits -- it's not too difficult. It's a simple design, so if you are going for a more polished look -- a bed skirt might do the trick!
Great height for the bed! It fit my California king perfectly!


Pros: great value, strong materials, easy assembly, great price
Cons: not enough instructions
