THIS BED IS UNFINISHED. It's solid and pretty but be aware that despite the description above that states "A budget-friendly and versatile design, this piece is crafted from solid poplar wood and pairs a clean-lined silhouette with a natural beige finish," it does not mean that the wood has been sealed or finished. The assembly instructions also don't indicate that the bed is unfinished. If you want to return it, you will need to pay the return cost and absorb the original shipping cost. If it were summer, staining and sealing it would be no big deal, but it's winter and I thought I was buying an item that was ready to be assembled. And it really irks me that Wayfair just didn't give a hoot about the misleading description. Live and learn.
