Great so far, especially for the price. In these photos I don't have any sheets on yet. But the color is definitely beige. In the photo it seems to appear more of whitish beige but I feel as though it has a taupe under tone but still very light in color. Seems pretty sturdy so far. It was easy to put together. I put it together with my husband and it took us about an hour & fifteen minutes. Very happy with my purchase so far. The only small complaint I have is that the directions could be a little more clear, but the pictures definitely help to figure it all out.
