Vista Panel Bed Size: Queen

Vista Panel Bed Size: QueenThis came from Wayfair, who I have a very high opinion of (excuse the grammar). This bed came in the time frame promised by the seller, though was a day late according to Amazon. I was going by what the seller emailed me, so no foul. It was packed for shipping VERY well, and arrived in flawless condition. It's easy to put together, even though I did it by myself; no problem if you take your time and use your head, though it would be easier with two people.

That said, I can't believe this bed has no reviews. It's beautiful. Very dark finish, black really. Heavy, solid wood as far as I can tell (they say there are veneers used as well. Ok.) The finish is satin black, no flaws. This is a low profile bed. 44" high headboard. If you have a very thick mattress and box spring like I do (mine is a 14"pillow top) you may want to consider ditching the box spring and using just the mattress, or a bunky board underneath instead of the box spring, because the bed will sit rather high. The top of my pillow top is about 34" off the floor! That leaves only 12" of headboard visible, not counting pillows. So, be aware. I love the look myself, but I knew all this going in. If have a very tall mattress like mine and want a substantial, tall headboard too, you may want to take a pass on this one. I love the low profile headboard look, along with the massive bed though. But that's me. A measuring tape is your friend in any case.

This is a sleigh bed, with modern lines. The headboard is not flat with curved sides like a lot of sleigh beds, this is gently curved along the entire width of the headboard. It includes the side rails and footboard, 4 hardwood slats, and a center support with 2 adjustable legs. You may want a screw gun or drill driver to assemble. Once it's together, it's very solid. A well-made piece of furniture. For the quality and price, plus free shipping, I'm very pleased. 5 stars.
