We bought this bed in white and love the way it looks.  It's modern looking with clean lines.  Besides the way it looks, one of the most important feature to me is that it is upholstered.  I have a 5 year old who loves to climb, jump, and launch herself on/at everything that doesn't move.  With the low platform and the upholstery, I don't have to worry about her hurting herself when she jumps onto our bed with a flying leap.  Our 1 year old son is observing now...I can hardly wait when it's his turn...and yes, that was sarcastic.  :P

We only gave it 4 stars because one of the predrilled holes were not completely in line so we had to really struggle to get the leg screwed onto the headboard.  Although the assembly was relatively uncomplicated since there were only a few pieces to put together, the weight of each piece and the location of where the screws go makes it cumbersome.  I am sooooo glad this little project is done!  On to the next item on the to-do list!  ^_^
