If your looking for a true gray, this is not the bed for you. The color is a blue gray. Was easy to assemble with 2 people. It's ok for a child or occasional bed but would not hold up to daily use from a body weighing 100 pounds or more. It's not very sturdy. As usual, every purchase I have made from wayfair has been a disappointment. Either the quality or color is not as it is stated in the description and reviews. I would not recommend buying it.
