This bed fit my needs perfectly. I ordered the second set of 6 drawers. I have a small bedroom and with this storage bed I could do away with both night tables, dresser and chest of drawers. The color is a rich, dark brown. I could have put it together myself as the instructions were precise and simple in order (picture instructions, very few words). I am 75 years old and the weight of the top section of the headboard prevented me from doing it all by myself.
