Crib arrived super quick, which is great. I was able to put the crib together myself. Without baby en toe I'm sure it would have been much quicker.  I bought the deep cherry color. I assumed the wood was going to be more red, but it still looks nice. My only real complain is that it's difficult for me to get my daughter in and out of the crib. I'm 5'1" and have to lift her up over the rail, which usually wakes her up. We specifically bought this crib because it looked shorter. Ah well. I'm sure if the rail was lower, than my daughter could get out. So if you're 5'3"/5'4" you will have no problem. Otherwise,  buy a step stool. I've heard aerobic steps are the best. Does way fair sell those?
