If Great Offer Stock would just change or alter the photo, I believe this bed would have a 5/5 rating. Look at other competitive sites or ****** 'reclaimed wood bed' - image search and you will find the correct finish. The bed is Not as white as the images for the Cosmos side tables & dresser, etc...Solid wood frame- very sturdy. Slat system seems extremely secure as well. The texture is Not rough- it's an optical illusion and more of a painted faux finish, but I'm kind of happy with it because if it really was that rough, it would probably snag bedding. I'm extremely happy with the product, price, quality, delivery was on time (2.5 weeks), and the delivery guys actually brought the boxes (packaging was very good) into our bedroom and un-boxed part of it. Definitely recommend.
