After reading a couple of reviews that the light grey bed did not match the pictures, I was really concerned, but decided to give this bed a try anyway since I liked the style. I can confirm after receiving it that the "light grey" bed is more of darker greyish blue velvet material. It's NOT bad, but the one in the pictures of course looks nicer as it is a cream/gray. If you have a warmer gray wall color/ decor then it probably will clash. Our wall color is a light, cool gray so it looked nice.

Putting the bed together really was not bad at all. We were slightly overwhelmed at first, but the directions are extremely easy to follow step-by-step. The bed lays completely flat to the wall which is really nice and feels pretty sturdy, but we will see how it holds up over time. I am overall very pleased with this bed, however, I gave it 4 stars because the color did not match the pictures.
