Overall, this bed frame/headboard is fine. The color is not as shown. I ordered beige, which is actually how I would describe the color. But all of the pictures show a cream color and that is what I wanted. The beige will do, but I am disappointed. Also, for the people who say the slats don't fit, or that they sent it back because parts were not aligned: I understand what you are saying. There are two part, the feet that connect to the headboard, that are mislabled. The legs are marked something like B1 and B2 (I don't remember the letters). Then on the headboard, they have the same labels: B1 and B2. So I put the B1 leg on the B1 spot on the headboard. Same for B2. With the last step being the slats, I was cursing....the slats did not fit. Too long. I thought, "do I cut them down or drill new holes?" Or send it back? I had a friend come over for another set of eyes. She looked at the legs on the headboard and said they looked like the needed to be switched. We took them off and changed them, even though the labels said otherwise. And voila! The slats fit. For reference, I am a 64 yo woman who assembles a lot of furniture. I was ready to sledgehammer those slats! Anyway, it ended up being a nice bed, albeit some issues. Photo is right after assembly so I didn't have energy to make it look staged.
