It was easy to assemble and looks exactly how it does in the picture. Yes I am a real buyer, and I honestly loved it ! It is this nice washed grey color, if you bought the head board set then its exactly that color. It comes with this metal pull it looks super vintage with a touch of industrial. Im planning on buying a simple white lamp to put on it and voila! Its beautiful on its own. Definitely dont regret buying this. I will be purchasing the long 5 drawer when it becomes available. Obsessed with this set. Great quality for such a low price!
