So I am very pleased with this bed. It's very well made and is a great focal point in our room. The color is slightly purplish grey, very pretty. The headboard doesn't go completely to the frame which seems a bit awkward but I've gotten over that. It has started to squeak a bit but my husband is very handy and is going to place another board and probably put wd40. Getting the bed was another story. I was finally reached by customer service after 6 weeks of wondering where it was. They really didn't treat it as a big deal, so that was frustrating but it did finally arrive and I do love it.
