I shopped around for awhile for a gray, tufted bed frame and either I was finding too expensive, wrong color gray or just the headboard. This was PERFECT! It shipped within two rather large boxes (shipped to my job since I live in a complex and the box states exactly what it is) and put it together myself within a couple hours. It's sturdy, comfy and looks amazing! Couple complaints, my first major one, is the color is COMPLETELY off from the picture. The picture shows it as a light gray but it is more of a medium gray. I would suggest not buying this to match any other pieces, rather than to match pieces around this (they give you a swatch sample to bring with you to stores to match which is GENIUS!). I love the color either way. Also, the wood pieces to "snap" into the bottom of the frame DO NOT SNAP in! There is these little plastic caps with cones on them and you're suppose to be able to snap the cones into the holes on the frame. The only ones that snapped without a problem are the middle ones; down the middle frame leg. The ones on the outside frame, not AT ALL. Not even one! Every time I would try with more force and that would just bend the plastic cone and I was scared I would break it so I just rested them on top of the holes. It hasn't made for any issues except when getting the mattress on top of them. They all may shift since they aren't secured but I managed to make it work. All in all, I love it, I am happy with it, will shop this brand again and will definitely recommend.
