Absolutely love this bed! It arrived ahead of schedule in 3 separate boxes, very sturdy packaging. The bed itself feels sturdy and heavy. Construction wise there are some rough edges on the back facing panels that are not visible and does not affect the look. While its not a high end piece of furniture for the price its an excellent value and decent quality. It looks more expensive than it was. I put it together alone (took less than an hour) getting it out of the packaging was the hardest part, but would have been much easier with 2 people. The color is a white washed grey, more of warmer tone than a cool grey. My walls are cream and my other furniture its greymirrored so it blends perfectly.
