It looks beautiful now that it's put together. That said, putting together was a challenge because the dowels did not line up with the holes; we had to chip a bit off two dowels to make the fit right. then, we have tile flooring there; so leveling the wheels was a challenge. But when it was all done, it looks fabulous and we are happy with the product. This is our second Murphy type storage bed; the second one, this one, went together in no time at all, by the way except for that little glitch I mentioned. Of the two, the solid cherry one is more beautiful, but they both look good.
