I am so impressed with this bed. The quality is better than you can imagine. The fabric is a true greige color and has a lovely basketweave texture. Our style is modern with a hint of bohemian eclectic and this bed made the cut big time. It's substantial without taking over the room and it looks like a chic boutique hotel. The installation directions were very easy to follow just time consuming.  The last step of attaching the plastic pieces to the slats made the bed super sturdy but gave me moderate carpal tunnel for a little while! But dang. It's as solid as any bed I've ever owned. Never slept so well. Don't hesistate to buy this bed. It's worth triple the amount I paid for it. Easily.
