I love this crib so much. It was relatively easy at first for my husband to put together, but at the end there was some frustration. The instructions were mainly in pictures and were not that explanatory. In the end though, I ended up with this beautiful crib. The upholstery is more of a beige than white but it is a great offset to the white crib. The crib is more white than antique white, but I liked the crib better that way. It was easier to match other furniture to the nursery. The wood is very solid and it is a very sturdy crib.
