This platform bed was a very dark brown grey. The bed itself looked quality, though it wasn't a color I liked. But actually it caused a lot of trouble for me. The slats are not quality. So I had just purchased a new mattress and ended up sending my mattress back because I was sinking so badly into it. Turns out it was never the mattress, but was this poor quality bed. The slats had been sinking. Put me through two months of hell trying to find a better mattress until I bought a mattress firm adjustable base. Now I'm sleeping well and I threw this entire bed out. Such a waste.
