Great light gray color, fits king mattress perfectly and I’m able to use it with my 15 year old adjustable  base.  It came well packaged and I put it together myself in less than an hour. It took some creativity to put it together without help just based on the need to lift while tightening bolts; however, I’m a 40 something 5’2” woman and it can be done.   Also got it a few hundred dollars cheaper that the same bed sold in a major department store on 34th street.   I was worried not seeing it in person but glad I took the chance and ordered it.
