I got this bed to put in the basement for my brother who is visiting for the summer. The gray isn't as warm and light in person as it is in the picture, but the bed is very sturdy and assembly was straight forward. I love the mid-century look and it is going to look great after I paint the room and decorate. This is a bed that will last a long time due to the metal frame. I like it a lot and so does my brother. I just took off one star due to the slight difference in color.
