Color is very true on this. I didn't get the head board. My 3 year old loves it. The 3 bottom drawers are used for toy storage but are nice.  The price was great for what the material is..took a while to get put together.  We used a memory foam mattress from wayfair which is great for my little guy!  You can center this bed or put in any corner.  At the end of day I would recommend for a young boy as his first big boy bed because he will love it!
