Bought this in gray. It’s actually a very dark gray and looks fantastic! My husband put it together, by himself, in about 45 minutes. No problems whatsoever. Everything was pristine, no damage at all. Delivery was something else... It arrived in 2 packages. The first box shipped with no problem and was received very fast. The second box took longer to arrive, which means the bed couldn’t be put together for our son. The finished product looks great, though, so all is well. It all worked out in the long run. :)
