This bed is wonderful.   The Pewter Groupie fabric is a nice blend of greys, without being too cool.   We put the bed together in under an hour, and had no problems.   There is gap as other reviewers noted, but with 8" high box springs and a standard 10" king mattress, the gap is covered.   The side fins also have a slight curve in them, nothing bad, just something you do not see in the pictures online.   I included pictures of these items to help!   We love the frame, looks very high end.
