this bed is gorgeous! exactly what we were hoping for. very elegant and the perfect color. We purchased the Dove Gray and its more a beige than a gray but a beautiful color. the furniture is impeccably crafted, no issues at all. the shipment comes in 2 very heavy boxes. it really is a beautiful bed. Mattress: we were worried about size of mattresses - we purchased a king frame.   low profile box springs (approx 5") and a pillow top mattress (11"-ish) should do the trick, we have almost no space between the headboard and mattress. we were very nervous purchasing such a large item online without seeing it in-person but you will NOT be disappointed! we've received several compliments on it already!   

Pros: beautiful color, elegant, 
Cons: time-intensive assembly, heavy,
