Cherry is a pretty good wood to work with and you should have no problem
staining it dark. Matching an existing piece of furniture is another thing
and I would recommend experimenting with scrap before you go to final
finish. One of cherry's characteristics is it will slowly darken with age
but this probably will not be a big deal if the existing furniture is fairly
new.

My wife wants a end table for the bedroom and would like it to match our
existing bedroom set which is cherry also. The cherry is a very dark color
more
like walnut but as I have never using cherry before I'm not sure if I can
get
cherry that dark. Any suggestions or advice. Thanks again
