I love this crib! It's perfect for a nursery that has a more of a simple, neutral and more of a rustic/farmhouse style nursery. The back of the crib almost has a pallet board design. It feels sturdy and is fairly easy to assemble. My husband had it together in less than an hour. The grey is definitely grey too which is nice! Often times greys can have almost a beige tone to them but this is certainly grey. Not too dark or too light, but soft.
