The bed is darker than it appears in the picture. Was relatively easy to assemble, but it's horribly cheaply made. The support slats snapped right in the middle where the two sections of the box spring meet (see the pictures). And that was within 72 hours of assembling the bed. No rough play, nothing to stress those slats other than my 210 lbs. getting in and out of bed. Replaced the slats with 2x6 boards, but now I'm waiting for the support shelves to cave. You really get what you pay for, and this bed isn't even worth the small amount I paid. Don't buy this bed. 10/1/17 Update: The side slats sheared just as I predicted. The whole thing is in the dumpster now. Buy a different bed!

I ordered the white Media Chest, and extremely happy with this piece of furniture. The description was accurate, beautiful!
