The bed for the price was a good deal.  It seems a little low without a box spring, but when you add one your mattress/box spring set towers above the footboard.  The particular color that we bought in reality turned out to be a silver gray/ black speckled combination.  It wasn’t what I expected the color to be.  I probably wouldn’t have kept it, but it was for my daughter who was fine with it. It seems fairly solid at this time.
