I can't say enough about this bed.  I also bought 2 nightstands and 1 dresser with it.  Every time I walk into my bedroom, I smile because it is so beautiful.  The smooth finish is a bright white.  The details on the furniture really make it stand out.  I had filed it in my "To Buy" folder and a year later, when my remodel was getting underway, I went back and still loved it.  I looked at other sets but this one is so striking.
