This so beautiful. Very compact and extremely great in the living room for extra guests. The colour is a true dark grey you can see the grain of the bark. We really love this new addition to our second home in Florida. The only flaw is that when installed there more of a gap on one side then the other. Not sure why we followed the instructions. Even though the unit has this flaw your eye does not get lost when looking at the unit. I would strongly recommend this if you are looking for additional sleeping. The television can sit in the shelving unit. :)
