Pros: Nice choice of color's. VERY sturdy and strong. Great price!
Cons: Just the thickness of the top of rail.

This is a really sturdy, beautiful bed. I have it in the Cherry and it is a light colored cherry. It is a very strong, sturdy bed and is very beautiful. It was one of the most affordably priced too! I really, really like it and would recommend it to you.

This bed would be a great heirloom to pass down. It is that good of quality. It was very easy for me to match other pieces to it. Just remember, it is on the lighter side because it is over pine. The company was very easy to deal with in getting a replacement part in exchange for a leg on the bed that was a little warped.

Trying to match cherry colors is often hard if you are not going to buy the pieces that belong with this or if you already have other cherry furniture. Just keep in mind that this is not the deep, almost mahogany cherry. It is more of a true cherry where you can see tones of red. It still looks good with darker pieces.
