The product looks brown in the picture, but is dark grey as listed. I took a risk and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! The color is perfect, when you look closely at it it's even nicer. The only complaint I have is where the side base hooks latches to the front base (the front metal piece) was dented in on one side. I thought it would never go in, the trick is to untighten the screws on the front base latch. Worked like a charm! Then I tightened it back up. The frame is endless (3 different parts) but it's so sturdy, it makes my mattress feel brand new! I was going to buy a new mattress but it's amazing what a better support can do for a mattress. I wish the headboard was a little higher but I should've read the dimensions better lol still a BEAUTY!!!!
