Very sturdy bed. Assembly requires 2 people but quite simple. Took less than 1 hr. Ordered the beige color— it’s closer to light gray but still looks very nice. The central support is metal and the legs are made of hardwood. Matches the nightstands perfectly. Much sturdier than the guest bedroom bed we ordered elsewhere with similar price! Great delivery service too—very timely and delivered to our master BR with no additional charge!
