I think its cute! Its beige but with the slightest bit of blush. It seems very sturdy, and all the pieces came in good and working condition. The reason Im giving 4 star rather than 5 is because they do not offer a twin xl bed size. Twin xl is becoming more popular as adults are sleeping on twin beds as well, not just children, and need that extra length. I emailed vecelo and they were unable to accommodate my needs, which was to let me purchase only the side pieces of a queen (twin xl is same length as a queen). So now my twin xl mattress hangs 5 inches from the end (I thought it would only hang 2-3 inches since the picture says 78 inches but its actually 77, and 75 of mattress space, which I understand its for a regular twin but its definitely not 78 inches and every inch matters!). If it bothers me, its unfortunate for me, but Ill probably have to buy a queen just for those parts when they should just be able to send me and not waste a headboard. Other than that, I like the bed. The instructions got me stumped for two minutes in the beginning but then it was very easy once I understood how to read the picture instructions.
