Once assembled, the bed frame is perfect. The cream is true to color and has a linen look and feel. The reason the last star is lacking is because the slats are a little too long to fit into the middle of the frame. Me and my father had to shove them down and it ripped the inside protective fabric. I also needed to use a drill to get all the slats screwed in as a hand screwdriver was not efficient for me. Other than that, it was a straight forward quick assembly. 

Lastly, the original box came severely damaged. There were holes and tears throughout and I could see that the bed frame inside was damaged. I could only assume that because the box is SOO heavy, handling the package throughout transit because difficult and damaged the box and item. I called wayfair and they promptly sent out a replacement. But if you’re a single woman like me, it was quite difficult to get the heavy box indoors alone!
