The bed was a lighter pink than what I thought it would be, but that didn't persuade my opinion of the bed. It is a very cute and perfect for my little girls room! The first thing my husband said when we were assembling it was, "How much was this bed? It's really sturdy!" I couldn't agree more. It was easy to assemble, looks adorable, came quick, and with all the parts that we needed, and was not damaged in any way. Five stars, for sure!
