This bed is beautiful and well made. I was wary of purchasing it because many of the reviews said that the colour is a lot lighter than advertised and it’s absolutely true. It’s more of a golden brown instead of dark brown though there are some dark variations in the overall colour. I was going to give this 4 stars because I had ordered new nightstands and had to cancel the order as they were going to clash with the bed. But I decided to give it 5 stars because I was able to find alternate ones that I like much better.
