This is truly a lovely bed!!! It does look like one from RH even to the turned legs!!! I added a standard box spring at 9" a low box spring would have worked too (4") but I wanted my bed at a certain height and the 9" boxspring worked out the best!!! The bed is an oatmeal color, very neutral. I waited to buy sheets to see the color and it will go with beige linen perfectly but I have decided to go graphite instead which I hope will add some drama!! You could dress this bed up or make it shabby chic depending on you preference!! Very happy with my purchase. Which arrived on time and was delivered to my room of choice and then put together by "Handy" in about 15 minutes!! I really is beautiful and as I said looks like RH for a quarter of the price!!
