Arrived quickly, stickers were well-placed/not visible unlike with the matching crib. It’s not gold, but wasn’t surprised because I ordered another item in the line and it arrived first. It’s more bronze/antique gold sort of color. Some discoloration/scratches apparent at opening. I had placed a play rug under the mattress for storage and it became stained/discolored on the places that touched the painted support bars underneath. I do have concern about if that will effect anything that rests against it and if it’s going to be safe for the kids.
