This crib is beautiful and the cherry finish is true to it's color, however, be prepared to spend a lot of time determining which piece is which and on assembly. None of the pieces are marked with their letter or number so you have to rely heavily on the diagram descriptions to make sure you are using the right parts.  The assembly instructions that I printed out online or better then the instructions that came in the box. 

Pros: Great value, beautiful, sturdy
Cons: None of the parts are marked for assembly.
