It looks decent when assembled but that took a bit of doing. I had to assemble it fully loose and then smack it all over to get each part to line up. Even in doing so the top rail is not lined up on one side all the way. The predrilled hole is not where it should be. As far as the color it's a bit lighter than I was hoping for but that's the risk of internet furniture shopping. The only real negative thing about this is the changing pad. They seem to have replaced the original pad with the built up sides with a cheaper flat one. Overall I'm disappointed with this purchase.
