Please note we have not used this at all, just got it today and put together. This is one of the very few cribs currently available on the market that has level sides to it. Esthetically, it appeals a lot more to me than the sleigh kind and the convertibles with higher back and lower front. I like the idea of crib turning into the toddler bed but I don't need this crib to last the kid a lifetime. I think my son might like a bunk bed or another sort of "grown up" bed when he is older.This crib is perfect for shorter people (we are 5'7" and 5'9" respectively) and I find it would be easier to hoist a baby in and out of this one compared to most currently available in stores.The crib is solid wood with a nice finish. Other folks have noted in reviews that it scratches easily - tough to tell at this point but I think it might look good, or at least decent, distressed since it is wood vs. veneer. The mattress support is metal, it has 4 mattress positions instead of 3 that are listed in the description. It does come with a toddler rail, which I thought was awesome considering how much hassle and extra money it can cost you to get one. The hardware is hidden, well designed for ease of assembly.We ordered way early thinking it might take a long time to come in and possibly be damaged, so we'd have to get it replaced. Well, it showed up 3 days after ordering in a flat box, it was packaged very well and arrived in perfect order with all the parts. It took about 35 minutes to put together and honestly could not have been easier.I have high expectations for this crib and feel I got good value for the $$. If it disappoints after use I will update the review accordingly.

I was set to get the Sleigh Crib from PBK. But then when we moved into our new house, I realized that crib would be way to large for the baby's room. It would not fit a changing table, the crib and a rocker/glider. Therefore, I needed to somehow compromise. I started researching again and by accident came across this crib. I fell in love w/ it as soon as I saw it, but I was skeptical about buying it, because so many reviews said they had received damaged products. I wished I could go into a store and see it first. That was not possible, so I still went ahead and bought the crib (emotional/impulse buying I guess). The crib arrived after 4-5 days of ordering it and the box was a little damaged on the outside. I panicked thinking that it was going to be damaged inside as well. I am 8 months pregnant and this box is huge when it comes...and very heavy....I did not touch it myself, I had the carrier leave it at my door and when my husband came home, he moved it inside the house.Two weeks later, my husband found the time to actually put the crib together. He assembled it within 1 hour by himself. I was taking pictures for the baby book while he was doing that. As he was putting it together we were both so impressed with the quality of the paint...Just gorgeous...I have to say that it is a bit larger than I had anticipated and way, way more beautiful than I had imagined. I would buy this again in a heartbeat. As my husband was saying when putting it together: "we don't need to leave it inheritance to our grandchildren; it just needs to serve a purpose for the next 2 years". We are so pleased w/ how it looks in our baby's room...Please, don't get discouraged by the reviews about damaged boxes. We bought both the crib and changing table and none were damaged and they were so well packed inside...When you put them together, they look amazing! We painted the baby's room light blue and we're planning on getting a white/light blue rocker to go with the room.To give you an idea of the quality of things I bought for our son: the Stokee Stroller, Britax car seat and many other quality brands. I don't just buy for the looks of things. But fortunately for us, this crib set seems to be a mixture of both quality, looks and convenience. I will have to take pics and upload them when I am done with the room.UPDATE as of 05/22/11We've had this crib for 11 months (our baby is now 10 months old). We still love it and it is in perfect shape. Nothing was scratched, nothing was damaged in any way. The paint is intact and it looks like we bought it yesterday. Our baby is very big ( at 10 months wears clothes for 18 months olds) and due to his length, we have decided to buy him a toddler bed in a couple of months (maybe when he's 16 months). The crib seems to be a tad narrower and shorter than regular cribs. So if you know you have tall people in your family, keep that in mind. Luckily for us, we have decided to start trying for baby #2 soon, so this crib, the dresser and the changing table that go with it will all remain into place for baby no #2 and we will move baby #1 in another room where we will purchase new toddler furniture. I would say that this set has served its purpose and now I am very glad I did not splurge on the Sleigh crib by Pottery Barn or the Oeuf. I cannot imagine what else parents need from this crib than to be sturdy and look beautiful. It has served its purpose well and we could not be more happy with this purchase.

My wife bought this crib for our second baby recently, even though we were both a little skeptical about buying a crib online "sight unseen". As with most parents, the first baby crib buying experience is filled with countless hours of research, visits to Babys'R'Us and other specialty baby furniture stores, and highlighting through the latest Baby Bargains book. With the second baby, however, its all about convenience of shopping. Since the high reviews of this crib, we decided to give this a try.The crib arrived in 1 flat carton, a little larger in size than a baby mattress. Upon opening the carton, the contents were well packaged. Most of the pieces (side panels, base) are pre assembled. The finish is a nice dark Espresso in a pleasing tone. As with similarly priced items though, the finish is a little easy to get dinged, so have to be a little careful in the assembly. The assembly instructions are a little sparse but since there are few pieces to assemble, it's easily doable.Assembly requires attaching the 4 bottom posts to the base using 1 dowel and 1 screw each. Next attach some metal strips to the side walls for the mattress base spring. Each side panel is then attached to the base with 3 dowels and 2 screws and to the adjacent panels with 2 screws. The mattress rest (wire spring base on which the mattress rests) attaches to the walls with 4 screws. That's it, you're done.The mattress height adjustment has 3 (or maybe 4, can't recall) height levels to progress from infant to toddler stages. The included toddler bed front panel is a great must have to extend the use of this crib.IMPORTANT NOTE: Take heed that the words "convertible" for cribs can mean one of 3 things. It can either mean that a crib can be modified to have a lower/half front rail for the toddler stages OR that the crib can be converted to a full size bed using the two long sides of the crib OR both options are available. This crib ONLY HAS the first option available of a half height/half length front rail. IT CANNOT BE CONVERTED TO A FULL SIZE BED. Just so you know.Overall construction/finish is good. Assembly is easy. And the convertible aspect earns this crib a 5 star (bang for the buck) rating in my book.

Excelente calidad y precio

I love this crib so much, we have moved house since setting it up and it was easy enough to move. The styling is so clean and cheerful without overstimulating a baby who needs to sleep. I'm so glad I went with this crib every time I look at it!

The crib arrived before the expected delivery date. It was easy to assemble and arrived in perfect condition. This crib sits lower to floor. It's clean simple design take up less space in the room. We are very pleased with this crib.

Been using for 8 months now and love this crib. It looks great and I feel it is a safe place for my baby to sleep. Many cribs have the hardware visible which is why I chose this one it is concealed better than most.
