Beautiful bed that was so simple and easy to put together it was fun doing! The color is very true to the picture as well which was a main concern. I had a bed picked out at Ashley furniture but had read so many bad reviews about the color being brown when they actually got the bed. This is a grey/black charcoal mix. Now that I know it's really grey, I can paint my walls and get nightstands. I couldn't be happier with taking a chance on online furniture shopping.
