It is a bit heavier than expected, but that is understandable given the type of the material. The sides seem to fall in a bit, I'd prefer if it were more structured. I'm hoping this was as a result of shipping, I've positioned the sides to stay upright hoping that it will correct it. The material and the color is beautiful! I love the look of it, I can't wait for my little one to arrive so I can bundle her in it!!
