The bed is a littler darker than the picture, but the woodgrain is visible as it appears in the picture. The bed is solid, sturdy hardwood construction. The installation of the frame and headboard is simple enough, but the wooden slats took me a little bit longer than I expected because it involved multiple bolts, screws, and aligning the predrilled holes into the bed frame. All told, the bed exceeded my expectations. The quality of the product is undeniably good.

Pros: Hardwood, sturdy construction, beautiful finish
Cons: Not much to tell. Installation is almost always more than expected.
