This is great!! It's dark gray, thick and solid. Couple issues that weren't really issues. I had to bang the legs into the headboard, they didn't go in easy, but it's metal, so it's not like pieces were built exact. Also, the bed frame I got was supposed to fit this and the screws were totally not long enough, like I literally could just barely see the ends peeping through. Not a big deal, I just grabbed some 3 1/2 inch bolts from the store, everyone is happy.
