This was going to be the pink bed of my dreams. I was so excited to have a regal, pink, grown-up princess bedroom. After WEEKS of waiting, the bed finally arrived. I got the boxes inside and opened them up to get my first look. I was so bummed. The color is not anything I would classify as “pink”. It seems to vary from “mauve” to “dusty lavender” to “muted rust” depending on the light. It took two people a few hours to assemble and once together- the color remained a disappointing mystery. While the shape and style of this bed is fantastic it is difficult to appreciate if the fabric is in a bad mood. Am I keeping it Absolutely. It’s already assembled and there is no way I’m spending weeks in bedless purgatory while I wait for a replacement (and for this one to be carted away). For the next few years I will sleep upon this otherwise stylish bed of unnameable color and wish that I had just bought the blue one.
