The bed is gorgeous. I got the grey color and found it to be true to screen / what I was expecting for shade. Assembly was a bit difficult - I am very handy but it took me about three hours. Most of that was because one of the metal plates arrived with a slight bend to it. After about an hour struggling to hammer it back into shape, I went and got a regular pipe wrench and carefully bent it into place. It immediately snapped into place and I felt like a dolt for not grabbing the right tool sooner. :-) Anyways, I am now sleeping in comfort and luxury, the support is just right and the back is comfy for reading in bed. Happy, happy, happy!
