This bed frame is beautiful. It's a beautiful shade of light grey. It's big and plush and price is GREAT! The headboard part is nice and tall, so when you are sitting up it's not shorter than you unless you're 7 feet tall. I had a professional put this together so I have no feedback on putting it together as my guy did a great job doing it for me. I can say it took him no more than 30 minutes to complete.
