I had read other reviews that the ivory colour had a slight gray colour to it and depending on the light, I agree. However, it looks terrific in our newly painted guest bedroom. Easily put together. We were stumped initially as it appeared we had only received the headboard until I spoke with a rep and discovered the rest of the frame zippered into the back of the headboard. I was not impressed with the state that the shipping box was in when it arrived but no damage had been done to the bed. We did add additional slats for more support as 4 slats are not enough.
