So this bed frame is beautiful and tall. I had a rep from Wayfair helping with finding exactly what I wanted and she did just that, patient, kind and beyond expectation. The color is like a medium gray and the fabric is linen. I requested for a swatch and I honestly think I may have been sent to wrong swatch because it was not the same material or color. My husband and I put the bed together, took us about 3045mins and the assembly wasn’t difficult. Slats are included which the rep wasn’t sure. The delivery time frame was about 2 weeks unfortunately and but worth the wait. I want to make sure I take well care of the bed frame so I did spray scotch guard as an added protection against stains or any mishaps. Very happy with my purchase.
