The pieces work well for our guest bedroom. The assembly took us a couple of hours to move through thoughtfully, & there was some end adjustment needed on 2 of the 4 drawers (2 nightstands). The glider rails work smoothly & overall the pieces feel sufficiently solid. The color is a dark cherry. The company supplied extras of the bitty hardware pieces (nails, screws, etc.) which was very much appreciated. The only assembly tools needed were a hammer and a Phillips screwdriver. Easy!
