I got a great deal on this bed. A few observations: It is definitely LOW profile. We needed it to fit under a window, but I've not had a bed this low before and will take some getting used to. It needs a bunkie board or some kind of super thin box spring. It took me a couple of nights to realize it was way too springy and my mattress kind of sinks into it. We're going to try a few sheets of plywood and see if that helps. Just annoying to have to do that. A normal mattress and box spring would basically cover up the headboard, so that's not really an option. The gray is FAR darker than the images. I would call it charcoal. Fabric is about what I expected for the price. Drawers are spacious and fill the entire underneath of the bed. They do sit directly on the floor/carpet, and roll out. There is a little mechanism to keep them in place.
