Looks expensive, good quality, truly a light gray color
Purchased this bed in the dark blue color first then decided to order the light gray as well. We have a blue velvet chair in the room this was going in and the two blues did not match so we ended up keeping the gray bed. I assembled this bed myself and Im a woman in my 20s. Super simple just follow the instructions. Overall probably took about 2 hours to complete with me doing other things in between. Some reviews said they had issues with the holes not being drilled correctly for the hardware but this was not the case for me. I was worried when I ordered the gray that it was going to be dark based off of other reviews/photos but its truly is a light gray. The velvet also slightly changes based off of which directly you sweep it in. Also if youre looking at the dark blue color it is more of a bright hue versus a dark navy. Still so beautiful. The bed feels decently sturdy but I also havent put the mattress on yet. The trundle underneath slides super smoothly and does come out completely so you could essentially put the trundle part across the room etc. As far as mattress height if you want the velvet tufts to show I would say 6/8 max is what you should do for the top portion and really probably 6 for the trundle portion. I did measure and it will only fit a true twin NOT A TWIN XL. Also wanted to note I purchased a brand new blue color bed but when I went to order the light gray they only had used ones sold by warehouse. It advised that the bed may come with slight flaws but primarily the outer box would be damaged. I expected to find some issue with the bed but Im almost positive it is brand new although the outer box was a scuffed up, but who cares right? The only thing I can find is a small mark on front panel of the trundle board that looks like a slight grease color, maybe from someone touching the hardware then the velvet. Dont be afraid to buy used if its from directly. Overall super satisfied with this bed ( this will be used for adults in a guest room) and for the money the quality is great. The photos I added showing the assembled bed are taken during the day in natural light and I also uploaded a photo showing the blue alone and the blue and gray next to one another in case anyone wanted to compare, but these were taken at night with inside lighting.
