We love this bed! It is big and chunky- just what we wanted! We got the distressed white, it is very distressed, which doesn’t bother us at all; but if you’re looking for mild distressing- this is not for you. My husband built 6 inch blocks to raise the bed as it was too low for us- we store things under our bed. We’re very pleased with this bed. 
If you have delicate sheets- like silk you need to be careful as the wood is not smooth and certain materials- especially delicate kinds- can snag. 
The delivery was great! They were right on time, everything was packed very well, and the delivery team was polite and courteous.
