I got this bed for my newly decorated room. I was looking for something that was wasn't too fancy but still wasn't Plain Jane. The charcoal color in the picture  is even more beautiful in person. I appreciated the thick fabric and the sturdiness of the headboard - it doesn't seem to be made of flimsy material. The bed was easy to put together. The only difficulty that I experienced was that one of the provided slat was shorter than the rest. It all came together in the end and all in all, I am very pleased with my purchase.
