The red definitely has a fuschia tone to it.  That is fine for me  but if you need a fire engine red call to check if theyve changed paint.  Mines a year old.  As others have noted Ive got one drawer that sticks a bit.   And there was some chipping paint on a lower corner.  I do like this nightstand a lot though.  Its cute and sturdy and the drawers hold a surprising amount of stuff.
