I've been looking at beds for months and finally decided to order this one online. I was hesitant at first about the color & quality but WOW this bed truly is amazing. It pulled together my whole bedroom. I used a box spring also, so it sits high and I feel like a queen and it's so elegant!! I purchased the King in Dark Gray. It is pretty dark, more like a charcoal and it's also huge.. didn't realize how big the headboard was. BUT I LOVE IT. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT. No space between headboard and mattress either so I don't have to worry about my pillows falling into the crack. My boyfriend put it together in about 30mins by himself.
