I am so pleased with this bed. The color and and staining are gorgeous!  The bed is very well constructed. It is very sturdy. I am a large woman, no movement, sqeaking, etc. The headboard is very solid, heavy, one piece of wood. The color is more of a black cherry with redder highlights in the finish. It goes very well with the mahogany table and the lighter cherry furniture in my bedroom.  The packaging was impressive, very protective. It did not take long to put together although I recommend 2 people because of the weight of the pieces.  It looks expensive.  Ps: it come in 3 separate boxes.

Pros: Well made, beautiful finish, good value
Cons: Not a one, hope it continues to please.
