This is a very sophisticated bed.  I tried ordering it before but it was out of stock.  I really wanted it so I kept checking to  see if it was available again.  My wait paid off, it became available and I ordered it immediately.  I haven't put it together yet because we are moving into a new home in a few months.  I did, however, check the pieces in the boxes and everything looks great.  I read most of the reviews and they said that the headboard is an off white, which was great because it matches my bedroom furniture perfectly.  I'm very pleased!
