I really adore this bed. Everytime I walk into the room and see it, it puts a smile on my face. The color is exactly as it does in this photo. 
My only disappointment is that the steel rods that hold the headboard to the base of the bed are higher than my standard sized mattress, so without pillows you can see a gap. Pillows cover it, so it's not a big deal, but somewhat annoying nonetheless. I would have preferred a full length headboard.
