I have had this upholstered platform bed for several months. It looks nice in person.  I recommend not moving it around very much as the foundation of the base can not take a lot of wear and tear. My teen daughter has repositioned it several times.  As a result, we have had to repair a corner and work to keep the slats in place. My final word of advice concerning decorating with gray, pick a contrasting coloring for the bed. We have three gray walls and one gray and white wallpapered accent wall.  I did not account for the differences in the shades between the bed and the walls. As result, I wish I had purchased a white bed.
