Very masculine bed, but can be soften with lighting, linen and other decors.  Great price.  We ordered the grey one.  It does have a little blue tone to it, but it is still grey.  We have the electric powered adjustable split king mattresses from a national known membership warehouse, starts with a letter C.  It fits perfectly.  You just don't need to add all the support and slates in the middle, less time to put it together. Ordered a bunch of shorter legs from mattress company to make sure the height matches.  Lots compliment on the bed, worth of the effort and wait.
