Really nice material, almost like a tweed material. There is no shine to the material at all, and the gray is in between a tan and a gray (almost more tan though). Pretty neutral so tends to go with everything. Seems sturdy, we had to buy a headboard adjuster because the holes on the headboard did not match up with the ones on our frame but it worked eventually. Happy with the purchase, delivered to front door in 2 days.  

Pros: Good quality, pretty easy install.
