LOVE the bed. We have each nailed our shins on the corners at least once because it has made the footprint of our bed larger, but that just takes time to get used to. The color (grey) is as pictured, the fabric is durable, the drawers are just what we needed to maximize space, and I love that the drawers are on casters and not just rolling on the floor. A few reviews said this took them 5 hours to put together andor the directions were unclear. I’d have to agree that they aren’t very clear, but anybody who’s assembled furniture before or has an ounce of intuition can figure it out. I’m a small woman and built this myself in 3.5 hours, only requiring help to get the headboard moved into the room and placed against the wall. Highly recommend opening all of the boxes in another room so you can carry pieces in and lay them in the room close to where they go to make assembly easier. Absolutely beyond happy with the bed and so happy to be ditching our box springs.
