The color is true to the pictures - makes it look really unique.  Easy to assemble. Some of the reviews complained that the crib seems small or too low - I disagree, but I'm also short and don't want a really tall crib.  I live in a small apartment, so, I didn't want a crib that would overwhelm the room.  The only negative so far is that the wood that it's made of is soft - I've already made scratches and indentations removing the unseasonably sticky warning labels,  I can only imagine what will happen when this kid starts teething and chewing on the rails.
