The bed is a little different than I thought it was going to be in a sense that the drawers aren't on roller or anything - they just sort of slide in and out but they're more or less just placed in there.  Finish color is the same as what you see.  I was glad that my husband was able to put it together okay because there's only like 1,000 different pieces to it.  It wasn't such a bad project - just a lot of pieces.
