So this bed was a late Christmas gift to myself. I also had just moved into my new apartment a couple months before I purchased it. I bought it on sale and feel I got my moneys worth. At the time my apartment was very empty and I thought I would start with the bedrooms first. I love the look, the color and quality. it was easy to put together, it's sturdy and mattress sits up pretty high. All bedding looks good on this bed. When I took it out of the box I got a little worried because it was wood, I had said in the past I would never buy a wood framed bed that metal makes more sense. Sleeping and sitting on the bed I forget it's wood. It really holds up well. I just love it and because it was the first piece in my bedroom I started to decorate around the bed. Its the bed color
