I love this bed! The headboard is perfect and I love the color(I ordered the charcoal. I was nervous at first that it was going to be like black black but its a perfect smoky dark grey color)! And the bed is at a perfect height. The only reason I didnt give it a 5 star rating is because the instructions are the worst. My boyfriend can put any piece of furniture together no problem, but it took him a couple hours with this bed. We ordered a California king size bed, and the directions were for a queen sized bed. And the directions basically said if your bed is bigger than a queen theres gonna be more parts and more screws. And that was it lol. So just be prepared to set aside a little more time when putting this together. Once its all put together its definitely worth it!
