I absolutely love my new bed. The color was as described  oatmeal is how I would describe it. It was delivered in great condition  easy to put together. It took my brother  I about an hour to put together. And the process was seamless. The headboard had options for how low or high you want the bed, so I picked the next to lowest option. I didnt want the bed to be too low, but because of my elderly dog, I also didnt want it too high. The bed feels well put together. It turned out perfect. This was my 1st purchase from Wayfair so I was nervous about it. But I didnt need to be. Turned out great!
