our baby is not born at the time of this review, however everything went together really well. for the most part.

here are my view points

1. my 8 month pregnant wife put this together on her own, (i was at work and she was bored) with no problem.

2. everything fit just right, she said that she had to pull it back apart a couple times, she didnt realized a piece was on backwards till 3 steps later. otherwise good.

3. this item is about as sturdy as any item of this kind and cost. we have a similar built changing table, if you put your weight on it it might go through the flooring of it. but a baby is of no concern to it.

4. the only bad in the construction of the cradle was the wheels. they are good wheels. smooth easy to roll etc.. but they are covered in plastic at the top. this plastic top is what wedges them into the wood of the cradle.
either the wheels were a size to small, or the wood was drilled to big. either way they fell out if you picked up the cradle.
so i just wrapped a few (2-3) layers of masking tape on the top of the plastic and problem solved.

over all im very happy, i only gave it a 4 because i was unimpressed with the shotty drill holes for the wheels.

EDIT: our baby is 2 months old. and still in this cradle. very sturdy and it is holding up very well. HOWEVER since the legs are held together by one long piece of wood, and then the cradle, it sometimes "tweaks" when you try to roll the cradle. this causes you to walk to the other side to move it some more. i believe it is meant to be pushed long ways not sideways. especially on carpet.
another note is that 2 wheels have locks built in, unless you have an angled wood floor or a ton of kids that like to push things this is unnecessary. and the wheels sometimes lock randomly. i dont know if the wheels moving lock them, or if we bump them with our feet. needless to say its a nuisance.
i still rate it a 4.

This is a decent product, but it seems a tad overpriced for the actual quality. It's easy to assemble, that's a plus, but it's not exactly going to wow you with its sturdiness. While I understand that it's supposed to hold an infant, a little more rigidity would be nice. I don't like the way the legs seem to wobble a bit when you rock the cradle. The alignment seems a little bit off, too - the sleeping area and the legs are slightly skewed.

You will want to replace the flimsy mattress that comes with it, too.

It does seem adequately safe, and my child sleeps fine in it.

Also, it's a nice look - a modern take on a classic idea, and that's well-accomplished with this design, so there are good points, too.

If it were cheaper, I would rate this higher, because it's not bad, but for the flaws it has, it shouldn't cost as much as it does.

I received the cherry cradle today and am very pleased! It was purchased off of my registry and arrived quickly. I assembled it in less than a half an hour and found it to be very easy. It didn't scratch during assembly and the instructions were very straight forward. I also have a DaVinci Crib in the same color and they are a perfect match. I am looking forward to using it with our son when he is born. The only downfall is the pad that comes with it. The people who purchased the cradle didn't realize that it came with a pad and bought a seperate one and I am glad. I wouldn't have used the pad that came with it, it's way too thin and flimsy. Other than that, very happy with the product.
