This bed is very pretty and feels sturdy. It was easy to put together. (BUT READ ON FOR A MEASUREMENT PROBLEM) We got the 'dark' rustic brown, but it's more of a golden brown. It's much lighter than expected, which was disappointing. The 'rustic' aspect is made with intentional saw marks and regular grooves, and it's not exactly what I wanted. However, I don't see that unless I actively look for it. Overall, it has a somewhat MCM-Japanese feel, and that's what we were going for. The reason I removed a star is because the underbed clearance is incorrect. It is not 11.4 inches, it is 6 7/8 inches at the side rails. Our underbed boxes will not slide under it, thus the 11.4 inches is useless, and that's one reason I chose this bed. We decided to keep it, though, because we do like it and it was a good price for the quality. Just beware.
