I couldn't be happier with this set. Transitional, yet modern, it's very sturdy and well made, with a nice dark finish that still shows some wood grain. The dresser and nightstand drawers all have smooth metal glides that allow them to open all the way out to reach the back of the drawers. The round mirror is beautiful...has almost a retro Hollywood look to it. The bed is solid and lovely...doesn't make a sound or move. You will need a low-profile box spring if you have a super thick mattress or you'll need a ladder to climb into bed. The bycast leather is rich looking and easy to clean. You will notice dust more on any dark finish, so that could be a drawback...but even so this set is lovely. The pieces are quite large though, so make sure your room will accomodate it. I couldn't believe how well the pieces were packed in the boxes. Not a scratch on anything...but it took forever to uncrate it all and break down the boxes and materials, however, worth it!
