The bed is both good and bad. I think it would be nice looking if it looked like the photos. But mine arrived damaged with a noticeable scratch on one of the legs at the foot of the bed (and it's in a very visible spot right when you enter the room), and the headboard had darkened knot-type spots in the wood. At first glance, I thought those knots gave the bed some character, but a closer view shows that it's almost like the bed was gouged and damaged. Most annoying of all: You could tell that someone tried to use a sort of caulk or putty to fill the damaged cracks BEFORE it was mailed to me. It's obvious the company knew this bed was damaged and still sent it.
