It's a very beautiful bed in person and super soft.  It definitely is more of a cream color, but it'll work with our decor.  Like other reviews, it did take a couple hours for us to put together.  I probably would've paid the extra money for less headache.  The only thing I have an issue with is it's extremely tight to change sheets with our tall (17") mattress.  Maybe if our mattress was within the recommendations it would be easier, but our prior bedframe was oversized so we had no visual to go off of.  Either way, the price was good and we'll probably change it out in a couple years anyways.  Overall, we love the bed!
