Love this bed! Excellent use of space.  I wasn't sure of the color, called Driftwood Grey on the carton, but it's more of a light blue and works fine in the room.  There is a powdery substance from the finish, but I washed it off with water. I used a handyman to assemble, and it took him less than an hour. Wayfair does it again...super fast ship, good value!
