All the metal parts of the bed are black powder coated so high quality design. Instructions are fine but you do have to pay good attention to what youre looking at. One note on the last brace you install with the rubber strip, the rubber part of the strip sits on the inside of the frame, not the outside. Yes the metal bar will be at an angle, and not flush against the frame, but this is by design. The idea is that the rubber strip holds all the metal grates in place to keep them from making noise. You can see this is how its mounted in the picture set as well.
