This bed is exactly how described and pictured.  Fits a queen size mattress perfectly.  My college bound daughter picked this out for her room at her new apartment.  It requires a fair amount of assembly so I hired a handy-man and he got it done in less than an hour.  The mattress is a hybrid memory foam/individually wrapped coil mattress, no box spring needed since this bed offers solid wooden slats for support.  It is solidly made, not cheap.  Very happy with the final outcome (hope the pictures help).
