Looks exactly as pictured! Americana without looking overly ornate/vintage, but rather an industrial look that styles well with almost every interior (metal bedframes will never go out of style) which makes this a great purchase that will never be passé, because again, the design is not as overly ornate as some metal bed frames. The metal bars are thick, so the bed isn't flimsy at all (no metal creaking noises when getting on/off) and this also makes the bed look more expensive. Arrived when expected; the box was very damaged but luckily the company anticipated box integrity issues and all the screws/small parts were in a bag securely taped to one of the posts. One last thing, Wayfair provided the best price for this product; I could not find it for under $350 anywhere.
