For the money, very nice.  The bed is sturdy and assembles easily except for the foundation support slats, which don't line up with the captive nuts very well.  I used drywall screws for an easy fix.  The color is a tannish grey, pretty neutral, not a lot of blue in it.  With a ten inch thick mattress and standard foundation, it is pretty high mattress height, so if you want a lower bed, get a thinner mattress.
