Love everything about this crib! My husband put it together in a hour or two and did not have any problems doing so. Seems very sturdy, however it does seem like the paint will scratch easily so we put it together with caution. I will just take a tip from another reviewer and call the company for touch up paint if needed. The color is beautiful, definitely not opaque you can see through the finish but it is very smooth. Fast shipping and lower price than anywhere else we were looking.
