Beautiful bed!  It is just what we were looking for after moving to a older house with a smaller bedroom.  Bed is low to ground and has modern lines that allow us to keep our king size bed in a small space. The charcoal grey is a cool grey- almost blue-ish.  It was easy to put together and the slats are about 3 inches apart, which is also perfect for our new Nectar 11" memory foam mattress. Only con is that this mattress fits very snug inside frame, so putting fitted sheets on bed is bit more of a struggle and we will not be able to tuck the comforter like in the listing photo. But all in all - Great quality for a great price!
