We wanted this beautiful bed for a guest room, but the room was a little small to have the large four posts so I modified it to make all 4 posts shorter - but otherwise the plans are the same. I used miniwax dark walnut stain and 2 coats spray polyurethane, followed by light 220 sanding and then 1 coat paint on semi-gloss polyurethane. I also lightly distressed the wood prior to staining with chisels, screws, hammering etc.
