The headboard comes loose sometimes. It slides down to connect with the two hinges/grooves on each side. So if the mattress is snug, it tends to apply pressure upwards and pushes the grooves loose from the hinges, so keep in mind the size of your mattress. I have a 10" memory foam. Not sure what the specs say. The lighting is cool and there are lots of colors and flashing modes to choose from. The picture gives the impression of a more grayish color than white for the side rails and headboard but it very white. It is a good buy, abut I wish I could have afforded what I really wanted. 3 and half stars
