Color is exactly what is in the picture. Delivery time was as stated. Box was slightly damaged and headboard had a large chip off from initial construction it seems, wayfair.com is sending replacement part but will take two weeks! The nail gun markings are quiet apparent and I wish the holes were hidden. Footboard railings nick and dent easily so not sure how well it will hold up to babys scratches. Crib does appear to have a sturdy frame. It took us two hours to build it. Got matching dresser, which is pretty. Directions could use some improvements.
