I love the design and color of this bed. It is just what I was looking for, simple and versatile. I do wonder how long it will last due to the fact that there are some strange sounds (creaking and crackling), but I am hoping that is just the wood settling as this bed states it supports 800 pounds and between me and my husband, we are just over 400.  It is a bit lower than I wanted but after searching for over a month, I figured this was the highest I was going to get with what I was looking for and with the weight capacity this high (we have two teenagers who also like to hang out). Overall this is a beautiful bed at an affordable price. I would say it is a true beige, but does have lines of grey in the stitching too.
