I'm usually skeptical when ordering something like this without seeing and feeling it in person.  I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this box.  The finish is beautiful...just as the pictures appear.  It looks quite "rich".  It is very heavy and feels solid.  Assembly was not too difficult as all the pieces fit together well.  It was packaged well and came in good condition.

Pros: Good value, great finish, easy assembly
Cons: I had to run to the hardware store for the bolts to attach to bed frame.  No big deal.
