Very heavy package so I had to get crafty and opened the package outside and brought in the pieces a few at a time. The bronze color is still very dark and appears almost like a matte very dark brown. It could easily be mistaken for black from a distance. Has a nice matte rough texture to it which keeps grubby fingerprints from showing as easily. This was SUPER straightforward, simple, and quick to assemble. Easier than Ikea furniture, even. I am a petite female and had no problems doing it on my own, probably took me about an hour and half to put together both the bed and trundle. Once the bed is assembled and all the screws tightened the thing is very sturdy and I couldnt make it squeak. No blemishes and no missing pieces///mine came with a couple extra plastic rod connectors, not sure if this was by mistake or in case one or two break down the line. The trundle has room for a 10 inch mattress to fit comfortably. Youll need to buy a bed skirt with a 14 inch drop (as pictured) or possibly go for a 16 inch drop if you want it touching the ground.////and make sure you buy one specifically for a . If you get a 4x/sided bedskirt you will have to fold the rear/facing long side under the mattress and there wont be a slot for it to come out of the frame. A regular 3/sided skirt (two short sides and one long) will suffice. I wouldnt recommend a huge pillow/top mattress for the top, thats the kind of mattress we have in the photos, but it is so tall that it hides more of the frame than I would like. All in all it looks very classy and we are very happy with our purchase and looking forward to hosting guests. Should buy.
