I ordered this bed twice, and twice it was out of stock before it got to me. I was frustrated and decided to get something else, but luckily nothing seemed to pan out. Maybe three times is the charm because when it came in stock for a third time, I bought it and it was delivered in three days. You know how when you're really looking forward to something, you're usually a little disappointed because it doesn't meet your expectations? I figured that's what would happen, that it would be a little bit of a letdown. Boy, was I wrong! It took about two hours to assemble. It wasn't difficult, and everything fit fine, but there were a lot of pieces and we stopped and started. The finished affect was absolutely astounding. The quality of the material is beautiful. The upholstery is on both sides. The foundation of the platform bed is very supportive. The tufting and tightness of the material is excellent. The styling with the little bit of flair on the side is really terrific. There is nothing I don't love about this bed. I bought it initially because it fit the bill as being charcoal gray upholstered and would fit under a window. I needed something under 49 inches tall. Those were my two parameters. The bonus was that it was under *** for the king size bed. Now that I have it, I would buy it in any condition, for any room, and I would've paid twice the price. Just so you know about the color of the material, it almost looks blue when you take it out of the box. In fact, my daughter thought it was denim when she first looked at it. That's how deep of a dark charcoal gray it is. However, when it is assembled it looks completely gray and it's a beautiful color. I paid I paired it with a warm beige paint on the wall and bright white trim to warm up the whole effect. It's quite beautiful. The only other concern I had was that we wouldn't be able to see the upholstered headboard when I put the pillows and shams on the bed, and I worried that the whole thing would look a little squat and short, but it doesn't at all. There is something about the sleek profile of the bed and the flared out headboard that make the whole design look intentional and not like it was made for a low profile area.
