I ordered ivory but the color is more grey than ivory. It was easy to set up although having someone to help would make the job alot easier. I put it together by myself so doing it alone is doable, you just have to be creative when connecting the headboard to the side frame. Overall I love the look of the bed. It was just a hassle with FedEx trying to get it delivered on a Saturday since I work during the week. My package was left outside on a Friday and received and email it was delivered which was a surprise. Thank goodness my job was understanding and I was able to run out and put it inside my apartment which luckily I did because it rained 10 mins later. The look of the bed is a nice addition to my bedroom. I'm happy with it overall.
