A very nice looking bed!  The fabric part was slightly whiter than I thought it would be, but I like it.  My husband was able to assemble it by himself, but he is very handy.  This is for our guest room.  We purchased our mattress during a 4th of July sale that included a free platform that raises the head, so we don't have to buy a box springs.  Haven't received the mattress yet.  So far, we are very pleased.
