I was nervous about the color and overall finish but it turned out great! I bought the Linen Talc and its a nice light oatmeal color, not too white or yellow. Just a lovely nice and neutral light beige. I was impressed with the quality of engineering of how everything fit together. When I started constructing it I was really nervous about the backboard not coming down far enough and having a gap. Luckily it fit perfectly and showed no gap when I put in the box spring and queen. The quality is great and I am a very picky person! I would highly recommend!
