The only reason I'm not giving the bed five stars is that I wish there was another color option. It says it's a "gunmetal" color, but it's basically a VERY dark gray - almost black. The finish on it is very nice, there are no areas where the color seems inconsistent. I bought it for my daughter who is eight, and she loves it. We are going to make a canopy in some pink fabric so that should lighten the overall effect of it being so dark. It is very sturdy and doesn't squeak or wiggle at all. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a Pottery Barn look at an affordable price. It was easy to put together, just make sure you pay attention to which sides face inward or outward and which size screws they specify and you'll be good.
