Very pleased with my purchase. This is a high quality bed at a great price. This bed took about an hour for two people to assemble. It is a little darker than it looks in the picture, it is a charcoal gray with goldish/silver nailheads. My only complaint is that the foot of the bed doesn't line up perfectly on one side which is a slight issue since i tuck my bedding in on the sides.  In the picture the bed looks low, but once you have a boxspring  on and the mattress, it is a normal size bed---height-wise (depending on your boxspring height). Ooverall, I am pretty happy with my purchase. I get a ton of compliments and enjoy spending time in my new room!
