React typeerror: Cannot read property of undefined - But I can read other props just fine

I am puzzled by this undefined error. Here is my object that I can console.log from render()

{_id: "59e7ac89d14e6d644588eaff", title: "500 thread count sateen sheet set", id: "1233", description: "Sink into dreamland with a luxe sheet set in smoot…at and fitted sheets, along with two pillowcases.", type: "Duvet", …}

On the first render the object is, in fact, undefined. I handle this by assigning each property to an empty type. Eg:

const price = this.props.detail.price || []

For some reason, regardless of what I do, I cannot access the props of the options obj: color and size. Even this causes the typeError:

const color = this.props.detail.options.color || []

I have no issue accessing and rendering all other props except options.color and options.size. Any ideas?

Your options object is undefined when you do 

const color = this.props.detail.options.color || []

Try doing 

const color= this.props.detail.options? this.props.detail.options.color || [] :[];
