This bed is awesome and a really great buy for the price! Super sturdy and pretty well made. Its a true matte black. Does look like it may scratch easy but it came out of the box perfect. Really happy with the base as well. Its a king size and was worried the base was going to be cheap but it all came together nicely. Very easy to put together. Chairs and duvet are also wayfair, really happy with all the purchases, gave them all 5 stars. Mattress is 14 inch foam and box spring is 9 inch. Could go with a smaller mattress or box spring but I like the size and fit, wouldnt go any bigger.
