I took off a star because I was expecting the color to be bright white.  It is more an off white.  Other than that I like this bed.  It is easy to assemble specially with one other person.  Once put together it feels very sturdy.  I like the modern look and how high from the floor it is so you can use the space under for extra storage. Our mattress is extra thick (14") so probably a lower mattress would look even better.
