This bed is everything it promises and more. It does take a bit to put together and the instructions are not the clearest. It also takes two people. I had to undo a bit before I got it right. But it's well worth it. I got the purple bed and it looks just like the photo. A few days after I built my bed I walked by Roche Bobois and saw a similar bed on the window display (in white). Even though that one was leather, my bed looks by far more elegant and no one could guess what I paid for it!
