I love this bed so much I don't know where to start. It's so simple it's neither masculine nor feminine, gender-neutral, it can fit either decor. The height of the headboard is pretty amazing, even with a deep mattress and box spring, we have a good couple of feet to sit up and relax against. The wood is a nice honey color and the bed is solid wood, very sturdy and easy to assemble. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and think I made the best choice for me.
