My grey one was shipped within a few days and it was easy to put it together. Two people took about an hour, but one person could also do it. All the parts are self explanatory and all tools and pieces were provided for me, unlike some other commenters' experiences. The bed looks good, but yes as someone else said, the grey has a bit of blue overtone to be clear. Great looking bed for the price and the wood seems to be of good quality.
