5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Modern Crib August 12, 2008

By R. Jurkovich

Color Name:White/Espresso|Amazon Verified Purchase

I received the crib about 1 week after purchase (Free Super Saver Shipping). The box was pretty mangled but the crib was in perfect condition. I am 37 wks along and put the crib together myself in about an 1hr (using a screw gun instead of a screw driver), much to the dismay of my DH. The drawer is pretty flimsy I plan to put items in there that won't be used very often. Also, it's probably wise not to over tighten the screws to the drawer because I think it would definitely split the wood, the directions mention that as well.

As long as you organize the parts before starting the assembly you'll be fine in getting the crib together without issue. It would be nice if the crib had casters but since it doesn't I used furniture glides so I can move it easily across the carpet. I worried about the sides not being movable but I talked to a friend who has a crib with movable sides and she said she never uses it so that got me over that hump. I purchased a crib skirt since you can see into the drawer from above/below the mattress. Also, since the top rail is wider/thicker than most "conventional" cribs I found that I couldn't attach a mobile to it, and I haven't figured out a solution to that issue yet.

Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend this crib if you are looking for a modern design.

April 2011: Baby #2 is now residing in this crib and it still looks and functions just as great as it did for Baby #1. The drawer is still functioning (even w/having moved 2x since the original assembly). Baby #1 & #2 have both left teething marks on the top rail. I used a dark furniture stain marker/pen to try and "erase" the teething marks which worked pretty well. I have since attached "sticky" teething guards.... Baby #3 is set to arrive this Sept. and will be moving into the crib, so I feel that we have definitely gotten our money's worth from this beautiful modern crib. Oh, and the solution I found for the mobile...the Fisher Price Rainforest Waterfall Soother attaches securely to the top rail and the kids can (when they are big enough) turn it on themselves. I still highly recommend this crib. :) Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 stars Had been perfect for 3+ years... March 8, 2012

By Eric Heintz

Color Name:White/Espresso|Amazon Verified Purchase

This crib had been great for well over three years. My oldest son slept in it for 2+ years and my youngest has slept in it ever since. However, we recently converted it to a toddler bed (great option!) and encountered our first problems. I have ZERO complaints about it as a crib. #1 When we installed the toddler rail it created a large gap between the drawer and the bottom of the rail that just frankly looked bad. It was nearly 2" and was unsightly. It could easily fit lower but the holes were drilled in a way that would not allow me to put it any lower. We have the recommended cardboard between the mattress and metal grate that holds the mattress up and it stuck out and looked awful. We put a blanket there to cover it up but that rendered the drawer useless. Oh well. #2, the screws included for the toddler rail were too long for installation. When screwed tight the rail moved quite a bit as did the sides of the crib/bed. I further tightened it down to stabilize the bed and the screw split the back of the crib because it was too long. Now I have a toddler bed with a non-functioning drawer, a loose rail, and a split side. However, this crib was perfect and we had no issues with it as a crib. I am contacting the manufacturer.

4.0 out of 5 stars great deal on an eco-friendly crib that is modern and beautiful December 7, 2010

By OneWomanArmy1

Color Name:White/Espresso

We love this crib! It is beautiful, it is modern, and most importantly it is safe! I really wanted a crib made with safe eco-friendly materials that wasn't coated in toxic chemicals and searched high and low before deciding on this one. It was surprisingly easy to assemble, my wife and I are both very petite women and we put it together without a problem. It looks even more beautiful in person and is a great deal for the quality of the product. The drawer is just the perfect size to hold blankies and burp cloths or bed linens so it doesn't matter that it isn't the thickest material on the bottom of it since it can't hold much anyway in terms of heavy items. The only reason I don't give this crib 5 stars is because you NEED a crib skirt in order to use this crib in the highest position for the mattress, otherwise you can see everything you have in the drawer through the slats. Also, it is difficult to tie on a bumper because the corners are so wide, the strings can't reach around so you have to make adjustments for that (simple enough with extra ribbon, but still, an inconvenience I hadn't anticipated). FYI - this crib will not fit in a standard doorway, so assemble it in the room you will be using it in or you'll have to take it apart and reassemble it. Most cribs are too wide to fit through a door also, but we decided to move the crib into our bedroom for a few months after we had some issues with our bassinet and we had to take the whole thing apart to move it so really think about where your baby will be sleeping before you put it together and save the directions in case you end up moving and needing to take it apart again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best nursery purchase so far! October 28, 2012

By Gina

Color Name:White/Espresso|Amazon Verified Purchase

I love this crib! It is modern and adorable! I am 5'1, so it's easy for me to lean over it...the only problem I have had are: finding bumpers that fit! For some reason bumpers don't fit it correctly, so you will have to cut the strings off and resew them to where the bars are - also, the skirts don't fit right either, I made my own of both, I got so tired of trying different bumpers/skirts...Also, I don't know if it's from the wider top, but I couldn't get a crib mobile to fit, so I found a mobile that mounted to the wall, even better! I didn't have to scuff up the crib! The drawer is awesome! Not flimsy at all! But I only store blankets and swaddlers in it...also, it does stick out a tiny bit from the crib, so your skirt will have to be tucked behind it, not in front of it...I have uploaded some pics of what I did! Also, the crib is a VERY bright white, it matches perfectly to the Koppang dresser at IKEA (we are using as a changing table) It VERY much clashes with the popular hemnes line and that really bothered me! So, please know that most baby bedding/furniture is a cream color, so it is a bit hard to match, if you are as OCD about your "white shades" as I am ;)Also, as far as the mattress, it fit perfect, I ordered it from Walmart and it was 52", the Safety 1st - Sweet Dreams Crib and Toddler Mattress- and it fit perfect! So, I'm pretty sure standard crib/toddler mattresses will all fit great!
