I ordered a grey king size frame. Assembly was easy enough as instructions were easy to follow. I can agree that the headboard appears to be higher on the picture by about 2-3 inches. The color is not a true grey as appears in the picture. It is lighter than that . My husband and I have slept on it for about 2 months now and it still feels and looks like new. I am happy with my purchase so far but keep in mind that the color and headboard height is slightly different in real life.
