The cherry wood color of this portable crib looks elegant and beautiful. Look more like mahogany than cherry wood. The color is actually a dark cherry wood and has a glossy, shiny finish to it. The crib is very solid and folds nicely to store away, when needed. It has wheels with locks, and able to roll from room to room, especially from bedroom to livingroom. Perfect size crib for my grandson when he stays with me. As he gets older, I can lower the platform down, as shown. The mattress is very thin, only 1 inch. I recommend buying the 3 inch portable mattress and your baby will love it. Instead of a bassinet, I should have bought this portable crib for my daughter to have next to her. The dark cherry wood color even matches the baby's crib he has in the nursery and cost over $500.
