Unlike most of the reviewers, I was disappointed in this bed. I think the description should say the color is Charcoal, not Gray. Also, I am reducing my stars because the sides are not one piece there is an unsightly joining of two pieces midway. There is also a leg midway so it isn’t sleek in appearance. If you look very closely at the picture, you can see the joining of the 2 pieces. I went back to look at the upholstered beds I had liked, and none of them had a 2 piece side. If it hadn’t been so much or a hassle to return such a large piece, I probably would have done so. The quality of the headboard is quite nice- the only reason I gave it 3 stars.
