This bed is a very good value. It looks great, but note that the color in the Wayfair photo does not reflect the actual color of the bed. The bed is actually navy blue, although it is not the darkest shade of navy. See my photos one was taken in bright sunlight and the other when the room was a bit darker. Ive found that very dark navy accessories dont match but lighter shades do. We did not use the slats that were included and instead used an adjustable foundation (purchased separately elsewhere see photo). The height of the headboard is perfect it looks grand and elegant and you can add large pillows while still having plenty of the headboard showing.  If youre looking for a navy blue velvet bed I recommend this one, but if youre looking for the peacock color shown in Wayfairs photos look elsewhere.
