I'm not a black fan either. I agree it looks to big box store like. I have Boston Cherry and love them. I don't have the sweet glossy finish but people often mistake mine for having a real wood finish. I love the pictures of the high gloss cherry but I too wonder if they might have been a bit much when I move them into a dedicated projection theater room. That is if I ever actually get time to finish it. Still a wall and a half of drywall to go.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
