I love this crib! It was packaged very securely. It did have a slight paint-like smell when I first took it out of the box but went away shortly after. My husband put it together and he said it was very easy. Crib seems very sturdy and the color is a true white. I really like the fact that there are no open slats on the back of the crib. Baby has not arrived yet but I don't see there being any issues once she arrives. Very happy with the purchase!
