I like the bed. It was easy to set up. The matte gray color is a nice neutral color. Its not like a real iron bed of course but a great deal for a budget price. Both packages arrived in a few days. Plenty of storage space underneath. I am going to buy a regular length twin mattress because an XL would be too snug of a fit for mattress protector, sheets and bedspread. I am pleased with the purchase and shopping experience.
