This bed is awesome, just what I needed. Only 2 months in and it is still standing strong. Will admit that 2 people putting the bed together is recommended. It took me about 2 and a half hours to construct. Drawers are a major bonus for this bed as storage is what was on my check off list. The grey can easily be worked into any color scheme. The backboard having the velcro is cool considering no one will be behind the bed. All and all, couldnt be happier, looking forward to a six month update.
