I ordered in charcoal gray, and it is black! Very deceiving from color on line. It worked anyways with the color pallet of my room, so I didnt make a big fuss about it. Kinda annoyed I had to pay an extra $75 for a color I didn't get though. Also, need to have lots of pillows to hide large gap between mattress (which I have both box spring and mattress in use) and bottom of headboard. And you need to use 2 L brackets for two corners at foot of bed, because they only give you one L bracket per side and when assembled the corners do not line up well, I have a gap on both corners. Other than that, its a decent bed I guess.
