Decorative wrought iron frame which is easily assembled - the side bars slot into the bedheads, and an extendible centre bar keeps it rigid with slats supporting the mattress. Assembly instructions will be provided. The finish is matte black, though there are a few spots of rust which could do with a touch up (see photos). The bed takes a short queen mattress (150 x 190cm) - e.g., as sold by Urban Sales. It won't fit a regular queen. We are selling it with the mattress, which is fine but looking a bit tired. Dimensions: Large bedhead is 143cm high x 158 wide; small one is 103 high by 158. The sidebars are 191cm long.
