I was very hestitant to make such a large purchase online; but after reading all the reviews I decided to go for it. The bed is amazing. The color is like a creme white. It is good material and looks very expensive. It was very easy to build. It took me about and hour and a half. Only because I am not one to build things but the instructions were pretty easy. If your thinking about this bed GO for it!!! I will be purchasing another one in grey soon :) thank you wayfair you made it a super easy process. By the way you will not find this bed any where for less than $800.00 mines only cost $371.00 it is perfect for my 8 year old princess. But also fit for a queen :)
