We had been looking for a nice bed and finally upgrading to a king size bed. Beds are expensive and we did a lot of looking for the perfect bed. Shipping didn't take long for us, so that was nice, especially because we live rural mountain area. I was ecstatic when the bed arrived, but had leave and the hubby put it together while I was gone. While the bed itself had no flaws or damages; I came home not a happy camper to find it's dramatic difference in color to the pictures online. It's so light brown and cheap looking. I should have just let the hubby make a reclaimed wood bed for us instead, especially for the price! I wouldn't buy it!
