LOVE my new bed so much that I don’t even mind that a piece of the headboard was broken inside... I can have it fixed. Perhaps that was a delivery mishap? The colour is exactly as pictured, and it is a sturdy, quiet bed to get into. I put the bed together quite easily, even with new-mom brain and a newborn in tow. Very pleased and can not wait to get the rest of my wayfair purchases for my bedroom!
