This bed looks even better in person than it did in pictures. Great color, easy to assemble, and most important solid and quiet! Our old platform bed had become very creaky and loud after taking it apart and putting it back together over several moves so it is so nice to have a quiet bed again. Great value for money! If I had one critique it would be that you don't see much of the headboard with a taller mattress but that's a function of the mattress we bought.
