i was a little nervous about the white color @ 1st, but im so pleased with my new bed.its not white its like a cream to me which it was i wanted. its beautiful and was on sale for only $304. you will need 2 people to assemble the bed which took about 45 minutes due to skew issues but once complete it was worth the money time and labor. i will upload pics asap. this is a strong bed by the way, i see it lasting for some years!!!! I feel like a queen in this bed :)
