I love the bed, feels sturdy enough but then again, just put it together, haven't slept on it. I put it together myself, took 3 hours, will go much faster with 2 ppl. I didn't give it a 5 because there are bolts missing that I have to go by to be able to put the side wings on, and the left wing is slightly bowed so more difficult to attach to the bed, frustrated with that. The color is a darker gray, not light at all. I called Wayfair and they quickly resolved the problem. I'd buy this bed again for sure.
