This bed looks just like the photo. It is a beautiful heavy wood. They were out of the gray I wanted so I took the advice of another reviewer and ordered the green. She was right. You can hardly even tell its green. It’s just a light hue, and if its all thats available you can easily do a little color wash over it. We bought it for our sons spare room to have a place to stay when visiting. I love it so much that I’m going to purchase another to go in our guest room.
