I am in love with this bedroom set. I bought the rustic grey, and as other people say, it's a cool grey (cool meaning color temperature) which looks blue in certain lighting. It's constructed out of solid pine, which makes it very sturdy - no wobbly MDF. Each piece of this bedroom set ships in two boxes (except the nightstand), and it essentially comes as a pile of lumber. I highly recommend having Handy build it for you, and as it was a ton of work and there was no way I could've done it myself or by anyone I know. (I almost just bought something I didn't like as much at Ashley's Furniture, because I didn't want the hassle of assembly, but am very happy I got what I wanted and didn't have to worry about piecing it together.)
