I absolutely love this bed. I was hesitant to order a bed that I have not physically seen in person but after reading the positive reviews we decided to purchase. I ordered the bed in Sandstorm. The actual color appears to be lighter that that shown online. However, I like it better. The color is a classic light khaki/tan linen. The quality of the bed is awesome. It is very sturdy and the tufting on the headboard is rich in quality. The headboard padding is also very soft. It did take a while to put together and as others have mentioned the bolts for are too short. The instructions do not contain explicit details on attaching. Aside from the difficulty of putting together this is a fantastic bed that I would recommend to anyone.
