Love the color-- kind of a "stately" gray. Love that it's kind of on the low side...I don't want a high bed. Upholstery is easy to clean. Does collect dog hair, but the vacuum makes quick work of removing it. Not the easiest to assemble though, due to the slats. Each end of the slat fits into a plastic "sleeve," and that sleeve has to be snapped into place along the interior support structure of the bed.  There are a LOT of slats, so this makes for a time-consuming project. Do-able, but I think it took 3 people to get this bed together in about 2 hours, roughly.  Only thing I didn't like is that one of the pre-drilled holes for the upholstered side piece wasn't threaded properly and the screw just turned freely instead of catching in the hole.  Yes, I stuffed the hole with wood to give the screw something to grab, but it was an inconvenience.
