Was very easy to put together, the color is a very bright white (we got this crib in Bianca), which I wish I had known because it's a brighter white than the dresser in the same room.  That color mismatch is a very minor flaw though that could not have been predicted when you buy different models of furniture online.  Overall it looks great in the nursery and I can't wait to use it when the baby is finally here and able to sleep in the crib.  Seems sturdy enough that we'll continue using it as a toddler bed and later on as a regular bed, but that's a long time from now, so we'll see.
