I love the color of the material. It's a lighter gray with white accents in it, which goes well with our cream colored walls. The construction of the material to the frame isn't great; it's a little loose in spots, the padding is very minimal and a little lumpy on the top. But, for the price, this is an amazing bed. We're going to put a metal bed frame under it and use it with a box spring instead of the wooden slats to use as a platform bed it's made for. It looks nice and elegant and gender neutral.
