I love this bed! We put a guest room together in our finished basement, and I wanted a fun bed without breaking the bank. The color "blue" is a beautiful teal, and the quality seems excellent. My teenage son and I put it together with ease. All of the parts were perfect, the pieces all lined up correctly, and the instructions were clear and concise. It is a platform bed, so you do not need a boxspring. I would definitely recommend - especially on sale! Two thumbs up.
