We absolutely love this bed! The quality is wonderful, from the frame to the fabric to the overall style of the bed, we highly recommend this! The shipping was fairly fast for such a large piece of furniture. The bed comes in two separate boxes - they shipped separately so we received the first box on a Wednesday and the second box the following day. It took is about 2 hours to put together - all hardware was included and easy to install. We ordered the Talc color which is a white linen looking fabric with tan undertones. We thought the undertones would be more gray based on the info in the listing but it's more light taupe. It's still gorgeous!! We love everything about it!
