I love the color; it's a rich looking gray.  The headboard is made very nicely. It was easy to attach to our existing frame.  I did notice a very small nick on the bottom front right corner of the headboard but it was not noticeable when the bed was put together.  This was my first purchase with Wayfair and I was a little nervous about buying something sight unseen, but I was very pleased with my purchase.  I have already made my second purchase!
