I am very happy with the quality of this crib. It was easy to assemble and seems to be well constructed. It took my husband and I approximately an hour and half to assemble. The color appears the same as in the pictures. It's considered cherry, however isn't a strong cherry color like many cribs currently on the market. It was well packaged and we didn't have any issues with the delivery, scratches, or dents. It only took two days from the date of delivery to ship to our home, which was amazing! I'm highly satisfied and would recommend this crib to anyone.
