I purchased this in white (which is more like a light cream) for my daughters bedroom. It's beautiful! We couldn't be happier. It's also very sturdy. Whenever we lay with her, there is no creaking or any sense that it isn't able to hold the weight. I love how this bed is modern (more my taste) but can also be transformed into more of a "girly" bed with a cute canopy. This bed will be around through the many style changes I foresee in the future.
