The bed is just what I wanted.  It is a linen-look gray (not a solid color); assembles easily and I just purchased a low profile box spring and 10" mattress that fits perfectly.  Haven't slept on it yet as it is for my guest room.  Am pleased with the design and quality.  The only "glitch" is that when it shipped the frame arrived one day, and the headboard several days latter.  But the customer service was awesome.  She put me on hold and called UPS; located the headboard and advised me of the arrival date!
