5.0 out of 5 stars A boutique-level crib!!:) December 18, 2010

By SCMomma

Color Name:Ebony|Amazon Verified Purchase

I loved the retro style of this crib online, but I will have to admit that the pictures made it seem a little flimsy. I have onwned a much more expensive crib four years ago that was extremely heavy and took about three hours to put together. I found this one (finally, in stock!) here on Amazon for a steal. It came five days earlier than estimated. As I took the pieces out, I was really excited with how heavy they were, especially the end headboard and footboard. It took me 10 MINUTES to assemble this crib - there are literally four steps to it. I don't it could possibly be easier than if it came fully assembled. It took an Allen key and a Phillips head screwdriver, and that is it. Fully assembled, I LOVE THIS CRIB! I did leave the casters off just because I don't need to roll the crib around too often. The feet are very sturdy, but the crib itself is 200% more stable than my previous expensive heavy crib. It doesn't wobble, move, etc. It's amazing. And it's still light. My husband and I picked it up with one hand each and moved it all around the room for the best location. In all, we could not have picked a better crib! Note: this crib is very stationary, no risk with the new drop-side ban. It's completely comfortable to lean over the crib to get the baby out (I am 5'4").

5.0 out of 5 stars Great crib for parents looking for an affordable green solution July 27, 2012

By Divachef

I just spent the last few days corresponding with a representative from Million Dollar Baby (the crib manufacturer). Daniel, the customer service representative really went out of his way to address my concerns and questions about the crib. So for all of you parents out there looking for an affordable green crib, here's what I found out.

1. The Jenny Lind crib is made of all solid wood (except for the models with a drawer which has an mdf panel). The wood is New Zealand Pine which is sustainably grown and forested in New Zealand.

2. The crib is made in Taiwan.

3. The glue used to adhere the crib slats is formaldehyde free, is water-based and non-toxic.

3. The finish on the crib -- here is a direct quote from the company -- "For all of our paints and finishes we use a non toxic sealer with lacquer. Our paint is ultra-safe. We exceed JPMA regulations and go through annual paint tests. Paint is called safe when it has toxic materials under 300 parts per million [ppm]. For a company to claim low toxicity means they have paint with toxicity below 90 ppm. Here at Million Dollar Baby, our paint levels come in at less than 2 ppm." -- Just to give you a comparison, Benjamin Moore Eco Spec paint which is LEED certified and has a toxicity level of .1 ppm. So although the finish on the crib is not that low, it is still very, very, very good.

4. Million Dollar Baby was willing to sell me an unfinished crib to help allay my fears about off-gassing -- which really impressed me. However after the $189 crib price tag, the $103 shipping cost and the exorbitant amount of money/hassle to get the crib painted or do it ourselves, we started to wonder if we were going overboard.... I then had a chance to speak with a LEED certified builder/architect in our area who is really passionate about his work. He was really impressed with low toxicity levels of the crib's finish and told me that formaldehyde would be my biggest concern and since the glues were water-based we shouldn't worry. He said that the non-organic paint finishes pose the greatest health dangers to workers who apply the finishes and not to consumers who purchase the products. He suggested that we save the money we would spend painting the crib and shipping it and invest it in an organic mattress. He said fabric off-gassing is exponentially more dangerous.

So, we just ordered the crib from Amazon and are anxious to have it arrive. I suggested to Million Dollar Baby that they offer an unfinished version of the crib on Amazon -- as it would be the only crib of it's type on the market and may attract sustainably-conscious parents. So, if you're interested in a unfinished crib, I would suggest getting in touch with the company directly -- you can request this from Amazon.

Maybe if more of us speak-up, we'll create a demand for more affordable green baby products that are safe for us and for those manufacturing them. Toxin-free baby cribs should not be just available to the very wealthy.

In the meantime, I feel like I'll be able to rest easy knowing that our little baby will be sleeping in a safe crib.

Update 7/29/2012:
The crib arrived yesterday and it's put together. It was super easy to assemble and it looks exactly like it does in the on-line photos. It seems sturdy and I imagine it will feel even more so after the mattress is in place.

We're really happy that we made this purchase -- it's perfect. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Seems to be very well made June 4, 2010

I did not want to spend a lot on a crib and I liked the look of the Jenny Lind. This is the newer version without drop sides. Each time you want to move the positioning of the bed you have to unscrew and re-screw the sides. My husband said that it was easy to put together and would be easy to readjust. The crib is very sturdy and made from renewable solid wood. I love that the paint finish is non-toxic and that the teething rail is BPA free. For an eco-conscious mom, second to a used crib, this was a great choice.

1.0 out of 5 stars DANGEROUS! Piece broke & trapped my toddler underneath crib April 13, 2013

By D. Parker

Color Name:White|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this crib because of the style and all the positive reviews. But within 6 months discovered that it is NOT SAFE. I heard a crash, then loud, panicked crying. The small, thin metal piece holding the base of the crib to the railing literally BROKE in half, causing the base to fall to the floor. My toddler was trapped underneath between the bottom rail and the crib base. I can't believe they would use such low quality materials for a crib - particularly one that is meant to be converted to a toddler bed (it should be designed for many years of use). I'm disgusted with this company. I should have paid more attention to red flags I saw a few months ago when the paint began bubbling up and flaking off. (By the way, I contacted the company about this, and when I didn't hear back tried again, and received a curt reply: "Frankly, I would have called you if you had included your phone number," rather than simply asking for my number.) As another reviewer said, it's unfortunate that the wheels don't lock. My child learned he was able to scoot the crib simply by holding the railing and wiggling his body, and all the scooting actually caused the screws to come loose. (As another reviewer said, something that could be prevented by including some washers.) This crib looks good, but beware the safety issues.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great looking product for the price but there is lots of room for product improvement September 30, 2012

By Kristina Lillie

Color Name:White

This was purchased for us off of our target registry. I liked the classic/ timeless look of the crib and it looks the same in person as in the pics. The paint is crisp clean white. The crib isn't bulky or flimsy, it is sturdy and attractive.
My husband was able to put together in about 30 minutes. However when the product arrived it had a crack in the headboard portion. The company was very helpful in sending out replacement part. This was not a problem in my opinion or the reason for my 3 stars.
My reason for 3 stars have to do with things I have noticed while using the crib the past 6 months.
I'm not sure what percentage of cribs are one wheels but I wish these wheels were locking. It's nice to be able to easily move the crib across the wood floors in our nursery for changing sheets but our son pulls himself up on the side of the crib and wiggles his butt, sending the crib scooting a few feet across the floor. Depending on the setup of your nursery this could be reason for concern.
This is a white crib but the visible hardware holding up the crib mattress is black. I know I could spray paint but I wish they power coated these pieces to match the rest of the crib. There are 4 pieces that are about .5"x3" that I can't hide with crib skirt, bumper or crib sheet. In my opinion it would also be nice to have covers for the nuts and bolts to disguise them.
You can adjust the hight of the crib mattress but I wish they would have included plastic washers with the hardware (you could purchase these for less than a dollar yourself to save wear and tear on the crib). I have lowered the mattress 2 times now and there are visible chips and dents in the wood where the crib mattress was originally attached to the frame.... I'm glad to read review about to safety of paints used because the chipped paint in my child's crib was making me nervous.
All in all I still really like the look of crib and since there are not many Jenny lind cribs on the market but I would have been very happy to pay and extra $10/20 for these improvements. Still a good crib for under $200 but they could make it great crib for under $200. Read more ›
