It's beautiful and modern, nice feel. Super sturdy, I didn't think after putting it together with all the slats (I've never liked slats) that it would be but I haven't heard a creak or sound. Not sure why it says gray, as you can see in the photo it's more of a tan/taupe, so be ready for tan/brown not gray/brown. I put it together myself and it wasn't the WORST, but I suggest it being a two person job. Anyways I'm in love with this purchase!
