The color was exactly what I needed for our new guest room.  I like the fact that the headboard height is adjustable as the bed is in front of a large window.  I like the slender build, so if you're looking for chunky, this is not the bed for you. The box of bolts to attach to bed were messing, but FedEx once again beats up the packaging with one corner ripped open, so box probably fell out; headboard was not damaged.
