I bought the sleepi system and was very excited after reading many positive reviews. We put the bassinet together and quickly realized that the mattress was far too small. After looking online I found out that the mattresses had been recalled. I had to HOUND (around 15 phone calls and twenty emails) them for a proper mattress. I finally received the bassinet mattress after a few months. They promised to send a new crib mattress when they got them in stock. When I hadn't received a new one a few weeks after they told me to expect it, I contacted the representative I had been corresponding with via email. I then received an email stating that she would be "out of the office" until February. This is when I found out that they have removed their telephone number from their website. I have now gotten word that I must send them a picture of the crib and ill fitting mattress in order to get a safe one. The problem is, that would require me taking the bassinet apart in order to put a crib together that I won't need for a few months. The serial number of the mattress is listed as recalled and the won;t send me a new one without photo evidence. What would I get out of lying about it? What a pain.

BOTTOM LINE: Your baby's safety is of utmost importance...but not to this company. Terrible customer service. Just terrible. I think of my interaction with them as a second job. It requires that much effort and causes undue frustration. The crib itself is kinda cool but NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE (financial or time).

Totally disappointed with this purchase. We accepted the high purchase price because we thought it would even out in the long run as is "grew" with our child, but we'll be getting rid of it before we even get to the toddler stage of the bed where you take one of the sides out.

It was great as a bassinet, but expanding it to the next larger size was quite a mean feat. The holes were juuust enough off that getting the screws in required literally pushing the frame with all your might against a wall to further bend the wood into place to get the oval frame together. Once that was complete the bottom support that holds the mattress wasn't even long enough to be secured to the frame on both ends so it was like having a diving board on one end. Our babies leg could have easily gotten caught, but we jammed this gap with pillows, toys, etc. One of the wheels also kept coming loose and falling off. We screwed it back on several times, but it is now stripped, so we have resorted to propping the bed up on that side with books.

I could make a few other points, but this bed has wasted enough of my time and money. Just wanted to warn other parents not to bother. Nice design in theory. Too bad it's so poorly executed.

We bought the full system - bassinet, crib and junior - and it's grown beautifully with our daughter. Our bedrooms are VERY small, so I love the small footprint it has. The sheets to go with it are expensive, so I bought crib sheets as she got older and simply tuck them in. But I have been very pleased with it.

The crib is white, all the hardware is brown-black, and the white plastic coverings won't fit, so hardware will show and it stains too, some oil or rust on it. The wood has some imperfections, like scratches and dents, but as long as the warranty will cover the wood breakage I'm fine with those. Overall looks nice, steady, different, stylish, convenient, made in Romania! At least not China! Honestly I would expect better quality for the money, but I guess that's the best you can get on the market now.

We bought this crib because we lived in Manhattan when I got pregnant and needed to stay in our 1 bedroom apartment for 9 months of my son's life. We needed something with a small footprint. We considered a bassinet or mini crib but figured then we might have to buy a crib anyway before the 9 months was up. We had no idea how fast our son would grow. We liked that it was on wheels and could fit through door ways. It has lived up to its expectations on all of those fronts but failed miserably on the most fundamental aspect....structure. We continually have to tighten the bolts in it. Just today I went into my son's room to find him w/ one of the bolts in his mouth!!!! I was sure I had left a positive review of this thing and wanted to come delete it. It looks like I never bothered to review it and I am glad that I am just now reviewing it as I've had it for a while (my son is now 16+ months) & grown to hate this thing. You'd think for 800$ it would stay together! We have many items we have had to assemble at home as we are avid Ikea shoppers....but never have we had an Ikea item fall apart. P.S. If you decide to buy it anyway you can find inexpensive & unique sheets (sans bumper) on etsy.com

We love our Stokke crib! It goes from basinet, to crib (with 4 settings!), to toddler bed, to junior bed! One crib does it all!

When our son was an infant, we used the basinet and loved the fact that it a) fits through doors! and b) is on quiet wheels. We were able to move the basinet from his nursery to our bedroom to the living room. Truly saved us from having to buy a horrid pack-and-play and separate basinet.

When he was too big for the basinet, we expanded it into a crib. The total adjustment time was less than 30 minutes. Super easy. The crib has 4 settings, so every few months we simply moved the mattress one level down to ensure that it was safe as he grew. As a toddler, we removed one piece and had a fabulous toddler bed. If you view photos of this crib in the "toddler bed" arrangement, you will see that it has an opening that is big enough for movement, but small enough to ensure that the little one doesn't fall out.

This is really a great crib-- versatile, eco-friendly, and very stylish. We are 100% happy with this purchase and are about to buy a second one!

Overall, I think the structure and look of this crib is wonderful. The biggest drawback have been the wheels. The set of wheels that came with the crib would not stay in the lock position (2 out of the 4). I often find my son's crib in the center of his room, because he's able to move it. We have hardwoods and are now considering purchasing a pad for under his crib to keep it in place. I called the company and received pretty good service. Stokke sent me a set of replacement wheels. Even though they know my crib is walnut colored they sent me white wheels. I can live with white, except that again one of wheels is not staying locked. So today I went to retrieve my son from his crib and again it was in the center of the room and close to his bookshelf. We are now thinking of removing the wheels all together. Honestly, despite what we do like about the crib (size, versatility, look), you can find just as nice of a crib for less money. I will not purchase again.

We use this as a second crib for downstairs. It works well for this function because it's on wheels. Somewhat expensive but worth the price.
