I have been searching for a bed for months but didn't want to settle...and I didnt... I lI've the "pool" blue colour I chose. It really finishes my bedroom. The only thing I would like to see added is another set of brackets for the bottom of the side/end boards. This provided for the top pull those edges together nicely. Would be great to have a tight meeting of the bottom edges as well. Overall,  I  really pleasedon't with my final decision.  And what can I say...it's "Made in the USA"!!
