We looked at a lot of high end beds and after reviewing other posts decided to give this one a try.  So glad we did, it looks amazing, is super sturdy, was a breeze to put together and we saved a lot of money.  Don't hesitate, this bed does not disappoint.  The color is a true grey with NO shine like in the picture. Nail heads aren't 100 together (small spaces between each) but they are lined up perfectly.  We cut our Master bedroom reno costs dramatically by purchasing this bed.
