You won’t find a better “sturdy” king bed for 300! The fabric is a lien feel  the beige option is a light oatmeal. I ordered while waiting for a custom bed to arrive  will then move this to guest room. My only advice is to take your time w assembly - use two people- and I would not use for a mattress more than 12 inches. Note my mattress is 14 and too large. I would follow the guidance posted by Wayfair. Also before assembly, check fabric for any imperfection. I had a flaw  wayfair corrected for me.
