The bed was accurately depicted and I love the style. Beware, that the queen is quite large. We opted for a queen so we could use our standard mattress we already had - but it was a big bigger than expected. Also, be sure to consider clearance for attic pull downs, ceiling fans, etc. when deciding where to place your bed. We ended up having to change walls, and this threw off the room design some. Just considerations for anyone purchasing a Murphy bed - not specific to this product. Assembly took about 3 hours for my father and husband working together. All pieces accounted for, videos on the web site were very helpful.
