FedEx damaged our original shipment so bad, they wouldn’t deliver it and returned to Wayfair.  Wayfair sent a replacement as quickly as they could, thanks! The bed itself is a really great gray color and my son loves it.  It feels pretty sturdy and great bang for your buck with the added desk.  One of the reasons I selected this one over others was the increased number of slats compared to similar beds at about the same price point.  I put a foam mattress on this and no issues.
