Love this bed.  The headboard is just the right height, especially since I have in front of a window.  I put it together by myself (couldn't wait for my husband to get home from work :)) however, would be more efficient if there were 2 people. I was originally concerned with the color since I was hoping it was more beige, so I painted most the room SW Agreeable Gray thanks to another members posting, and I love it more than expected!
