The bed is honestly wonderful and as pictured. It arrived quickly and there wasn't any damage. However, I couldn't give it more stars because the assembly took forever and my husband and I could really have used a third person to optimize it. The instructions were kind of vague, but most importantly, the manufacturers just threw all of the hardware into a bag together and that made it harder to navigate all of the screws, some of which were barely different in size. None of the wood pieces were labeled either, though there aren't many of those and they're pretty easy to figure out. I like to build things and I would never want to build this bed again. TLDR: the bed is beautiful and I'm sure I'll like it, but be prepared to spend at least 3-4 hours putting this together and don't try it alone. There are easy ways that the manufacturer could have helped organize the hardware that they just haven't done, and it really shows a lack of concern for the customer.
