I absolutely adore this crib! The color is a darker gold than the picture appears, but its not so brassy like some other gold cribs. I love that it can convert to a daybed and includes the toddler rail - a major selling point for me. I love the classic, vintage look of this crib. Its pretty sturdy, and my husband and his brother were able to put it together fairly easily. I know well get a lot of use out of this crib. Its a statement piece that stands out in my daughters room while being classic enough it could be used in many other designs.
