We had a VERY bumpy road with the delivery of this bed (not a fault of Wayfair, but of FedEx).  After a very frustrating ordeal with the delivery of this bed, once we contacted Wayfair, they made things right and, in the end, their customer service, as always, was top-notch and we now have an amazing, beautiful bed.  The pictures don't do this justice, the color is a beautiful light 'oatmeal', the fabric is a sturdy linen, the drawers glide perfectly and it was not difficult to assemble.  The bed does arrive in two boxes, so be certain to check if FedEx is delivering.  We have a mattress and box spring on this bed, but you can also put a mattress directly on the sturdy slats.
