Bed looks great in my room. A look of luxury for a small price. The directions were a tad difficult to follow. Make sure to pay attention to the wording, bed frame vs bed rail. Bed rail refers to if you only purchased the headboard and are attaching the standard metal bed rail that you already have or purchased separately. Bed frame refers to the sides of the bed if you purchased the bed as a whole. The color is more like a beige linen vs creme . Think what you would think of when pulling out your summer tan linen pants for the summer. I’ve had the bed for 3-4 weeks now. No complaints. If this is a contender for you - go for it!
