I got this bed in brown and it goes well with my other colors. Even though it is faux alligator, it does not look too cheesy in brown. I guess if you like the Elvis/Las Vegas style you could go with cream. I like the padding factor so I don't knock my shins into a hard surface when trying to get around the bed. If it was available in a faux suede or other fabric texture I might have given it five stars. (I usually only give five stars when something exceeds my expectations). I had a friend put the bed together and he reports that it went together easily and the instructions worked perfectly. Shipping was on time and delivery guys very courteous.; brought it up on an elevator to my apartment. All in all, this was a very good purchase for the price. Thanks, Wayfair!
