This bed is truly elegant and very well made, and heavy, shipping was received earlier than expected, delivery was great.  I have a temper pedic mattress and I did not have to use the wooden slats and the frame fit around the mattress with ease.  The color said linen look so in my brain I expected the color to be more of a linen color meaning a little on the beige side, but linen look is the texture of the fabric, the color is white not snow white but it is white.   I am extremely happy with this purchase.
