The bed is gorgeous. Easy to put together for 1-2 people in 30 minutes if you use a drill, but very very heavy. You will need 2 or 3 people to get it to your room if you didn’t pay for that when delivered. It comes in 2 enormous boxes! The fabric is a thick weave with an overall light grey tone but the colors vary from cool grey, warm grey and ivory so it will lean well with cool, warm or neutral tones depending on what you pair it with. The edges are floppy and not tailored which gives it a relaxed feel but the overall look is regal. Go with a 7”-8” high box spring and your mattress with hit right at the top of the side rails and look perfect.
