I had the same color issue you see a lot of people mention. The Taupe colored picture you see online and the Taupe color you get aren't exactly the same, although both really are a shade of Taupe. That was my first observation but one that I could live with, it took my wife a little getting used to. 

Building it- took me about 1 hour and was fairly easy if you/your husband has the right tools aside from those given in the packaging. I did have to make one of the holes slightly larger so that it aligns with the corresponding screw. Finally, I hope you can read Spanish or are really good with pictures since the instructions were all in Spanish.

I unfortunately didn't notice a small snag on the area where you rest your back, had I seen that before building it I would have exchanged this for one that wasn't damaged. It was really dissapointing that this piece made it out for shipping with a snag in the fabric.

All in all it's a large but good looking addition to the nursery.
