The wood color is exactly as it appears and matches my set perfectly. It is solid wood no veneers.
Assembly was very time consuming (6 hours) and some of the screw receivers, which were factory set, were angled and made the assembly difficult. However, once assembled it was very sturdy.
I did not like the 4 feet that run in the middle of the bed for support as they are stained but not finished and the front one shows.
My last comment is the slats show on either side of the boxspring I placed on it. Seems the base id a bit wide.
All in All we are keeping the bed and are happy with the look.
