was looking around quite a bit for the perfect extra bed for my office- gym-extended closet   (I already have a separate dedicated guest room). the bed come packed in a tall brown box. my sister and I were easily able to put it together in no time (we've already put together a number of different small furniture pieces so we are quite used to the awful instructions, so the pictures mostly help)    while I do like the bed it is DEFINITELY not pink or even rose gold. it has more of a lilac/mauve/lavender look to it.  while it does change the entire color scheme of that room, I do like it so I will be keeping it. hopefully I can upload a photo at a later date once the mattress arrives.
