I bought this to go with my platform bed and it fits perfectly. I was worried about how tall it was going to be because of the pictures but it works great if you have a box spring with your mattress. It does not come with the hardware to attach it to the bed or wall so you'll have to come up with that on your own. The picture is true to color which is a dark brown. Assemblage is easy and instructions are easy to understand even if your by yourself.
