It’s more creamy off white than white like the picture and the head board isn’t near as tall as the picture makes it look….so do measure.  For that I was disappointed, however for the quality and sturdiness of the metal and the easiness of the installation its very good.  It does not squeak…because sometimes metal beds do that, all the bolts went together very well.  It’s a high end look for a very low budget.  You can make this as a twin bed for a child’s room or a grown up TV room/home office and the fact you don’t need a box sorings and still very comfortable so just make the purchase if you like the look of this room!
