Nice study bed. The light grey is exactly like in the picture. Got the Handy service to come in and put it together. Like the other reviews said, the frame is a little bigger than the queen mattress, but once I tucked the sheets in, the slats did not show. I wanted the more of the headboard visible
so I got a 10" mattress which works great. Enough slats to hold it in place. Very happy with the purchase.
