Given the price of this bed, I am happy with the quality of the structure and upholstering.  If, however, you have your heart set on a light grey bed, do not buy this bed. It is unequivocally beige. We kept it because it was not worth the hassle of returning and looked ok with our wall paint color. You should also know that the headboard is much shorter than indicated in the picture. It is between 9-12 inches lower than it appears in the picture. If you stand up your pillows, you can't see the headboard. Again, its a well made bed for the price but not exactly what you think you bought. With those things in mind, I still think it was good value.
