I love the size and color of this piece. It matches our floors and other wood accents perfectly, but I wouldn't call it "grey." Assembly was easy and it went together quickly. The only reason I didn't give it fix e stars is because the holes aren't pre-drilled for mounting it (which is because they have no idea where your wall studs are) but it leaves a less clean looking hole than the rest of the finished product. I would definitely recommend it!
