I purchased the king-size bed in gray. We love it! The color was as expected. Delivery was faster than expected. The large scale of the piece was perfect for our cathedral ceiling. Assembly was easy, but time consuming. Having a second person might reduce the time needed for assembly. This product was clearly designed to be used WITH a box spring, so keep that in mind. It is a little more "bouncy" than our platform bed, but there r no creaks or groans. It feels stable with no dips or sagging either. Overall we are thrilled with the look and performance of this product.
