The bed looks as advertised in the online picture. The color is a beautiful grey and the design details are lovely. I added a 4" low profile box spring to support a 10" memory foam mattress and set the headboard in the lowest setting. The mattress comes just below the base of the headboard and the pillows cover the tiny space of "see through" nicely. The ONLY problem we had (2 people) assembling the bed was the second side rail piece. It would not slip into its spot, try as we might. We left it slightly askew and after two weeks sleeping on it (there was a slight slope) it finally slipped down properly and is now even and very stable. I am so in love with this bed and very happy with my purchase.

Pros: Great Value, Sturdy, Great Quality 
Cons: Assembly (side rails)
