The wood trim is really warm and very nice looking. It is fresh and modern, yet classic. The shape of the headboard is unique, which is what I was searching for. The gray color of the upholstery is perfect! I have already found sheets that will compliment it. The height is always a consideration when looking at any bed and this one delivers. It is high enough to be seen w/ pillows stacked. It makes me happy and isn't that what we all need at this time?
