Very very cute! I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it but its a good bed for such a cheap price. Quick and easy to put together and the material looks nice. Originally I had a 12in mattress but I had to return it, so the mattress in the picture is 8in. I wouldn’t go higher than 12in because it’ll cover a lot of the headboard. The color of the headboard is more like a taupe like everyone has mentioned but it is still really nice!
