I got 2 of these beds, one a queen in cream and one a full in slate. What I love about this bed is that it is understated yet ironically elegant. It was easy to put together and we had it up in no time. The design is minimal so that it can fit in a room without taking it over, unlike the four poster bed I had in this room before. What I don't love about this bed is that it relies on slats on top of side rails. My concern is the construction and ability to stand the test of time with a daily use. Both my beds are for guest rooms so I am hopeful that they will endure.
