I was misled by the previous reviews: this bed--at least the one that I got--is beige not grey. Perhaps a bit darker than the listing image, but not grey or even greige. Since I'm not a fan of beige, I was a disappointed in the upholstery and wished I hadn't made my decision based on the reviews. The bed form itself is elegant, though: low profile with angled legs that add visual interest. Incidentally, this bed took my husband and I two hours to put together. Not complicated, but time consuming. Definitely not a 20 minute job, at least for us.
