We were really impressed with this. It's exactly like the photos. It's minimal and simple, but the gold looks very rich. Word to the wise though- We had a firm mattress with a low frame and a normal boxspring. We moved to this which requires no box spring. Having no box spring will mean that you lose some support in your mattress. Our mattress now feels more medium to me. ANYWAYS, great frame, super easy to put together, would buy for a friend or family member.
