The pink color is so subtle and lovely! I think it goes nicely with the white/gray color scheme of our guest bedroom. The bed took me about 2 hours to put together without help, but it went by quickly since I listened to podcast while doing it. It was easy to assemble, but it’s just slightly crooked on one side. You can’t tell with the mattress and bedding on though, so it’s fine by me. I was pleased that the metal rails don’t creak. And there’s plenty of room underneath the bed for all our bedding and carry-on suitcases, which freed up space in the bedroom closet. Love!
