Bought as gift for relative. The wood is very beautiful, true to color. Easy assembly. This crib is comparable to a Very  High End Baby Store for less the cost.  You will not be disappointed.  Meets all requirements for infants. Mattress can be adjusted to lower settings as the baby grows and eventually turned into a toddler bed.  I bought separate mattress called Baby Posturepedic Crown Jewel Crib Mattress. It fit perfect!
