I ordered a queen in the color blue. I was a little disappointed it was not as dark as it is shown in the pictures. When I first saw that it was a lighter blue I didnt think I was going to like it. But I went ahead and assembled the bed. It took about 3 hours to put together and had my son help as well. After set up and looking at it, I liked it a lot, more like I fell in love with it. I had to remove the box spring because it was too high with both box spring and mattress. I still wish it was darker but Im happy with the outcome. The bed is really sturdy and quiet. Definitely a great price for a great quality bed.
