Ordered cherry - received something that looks more like walnut.  As a matter of fact, it comes with a walnut marker for correcting minor nicks and scratches.  The product description does not indicate that it is for a platform bed.  Luckily we had some nuts and bolts of our own to facilitate attaching the headboard to the bed frame.  This is not very sturdy, but for the money, what did we expect  Not worth disassembling to return, so it will serve as a temporary fix until we find the right headboard.
