The colour is definitely misguiding. If youre looking for a rustic grey, you will be sorely disappointed.  It is an oak yellow colour. The assembly took hours alone, and like others have said, the instructions are foggy enough that it makes the assembly next to impossible. 
The design is still beautiful, the rounded, arched design providing an almost modern,  eye catching look.  
Very sturdy and will last a long time. 
If you are looking for a brighter, more oaken colour, and you dont mind a long assembly, this is a gorgeous addition to a bedroom.
