We are absolutely in love with this bed. We bought the dark grey and it looks great.  It took us about 3 hours to assemble everything and my husband is very handy so it's not a quick job.  The instructions were fine - not that complicated. We have a king size mattress with 2 box springs and once the box springs went in our mattress was pretty high up.  We actually had to raise the headboard as high as it could go because it was just too low.  My only complaint is that once you raise it that high it doesn't have as much support and it seems a little wobbly.  The nail buttons look really great too.  I definitely recommend this and id buy it again.
