Love, love, love my bed!!!  The dark gray color and silver studs are beautiful.  This bed is so sturdy!!  It took me a little over an hour to put it all together by myself and as I was building it I kept thinking, Man!! This thing is amazing! It should last for years!! It doesnt creak, or move at all.  The slatting system is almost over kill and I love that I dont need a box spring.  My 12 inch high memory foam mattress fits it perfectly. The height of it in the frame keeps the headboard space nice and tall and I dont need a ladder to get into it, like some beds. The price for this thing cant be beat.  Buy it!!
