That bed looks amazing. I really hope that you used a UV block type coating. That purpleheart will darken to almost black and the cherry to a nice chocolate brown in the sunlight. I know this from having built a harp and from both woods and other furniture at other times that got to sit in a window. The part that was in the sunlight is definately darker than the other. Just thought I would give a word of warning to keep it covered if you can.
