Love this bed! The color is slate gray with a subtle hint of blue which works well in our room. 
Shipment arrived 5 days sooner than expected. 
Easy to put together with clear instructions. It took about 1.5 hours to assemble. Bolt holes that were supposed to be used to connect the two pieces of the headboard together were not even close to lining up. Sturdy enough without them. 
Bed frame is low and works great with our 10 inch memory foam mattress.
