It is not a beige sand. It is like in the photo a mauve sand. The headboard wobbles. Imagine that noise the neighbors hear in an apartment. Wished the frame was was not built so wide as the top area shows wood square slats, opening and do not care for the post showing. No way around any of this. Take true photos or take down photo of it in sand because it is a mauve sand. Price is right for looks but time will tell if we feel the square type slats. Slats are not normal flat but square spindles. Lots of screws for spindles so that was nice to see. Pretty at glance but I did mention flaws. I would recommend this for the price.
