I LOVE this bed. It looks great and is perfect for a smallish bedroom- I would never have room to pull out the drawers most storage beds feature. This gives you even more space than those would anyway, since you aren't sacrificing under-bed space to drawer hardware.

Tips: I put it together by myself but it was very difficult (I'm a medium sized woman). I strongly recommend a second pair of hands, especially when it comes time to attach the frame for the mattress to the bed's main structure. The pistons were a little stiff at first but once I pushed HARD the bed closed and continues to open and close easily. Someone mentioned that it's more taupe than grey-- maybe there is some variance but mine is quite grey (picture in natural light).
