I did a ton of research on cribs. We have a limited budget, but wanted to find a crib that was sturdy enough to last for future babies. I spent hour sreading through the reviews and reading the experts' recommendations and this is the one I finally settled on. It seemed to me that most people who were unhappy with it had bad luck with damaged parts and might have been unhappy with customer service that didn't meet their expectations. First of all, the crib came within four days of ordering it. Everything was in good condition and I was thrilled that I didn't have to take a day off to wait around for the delivery (it was sitting on our front step when I got home from work). My very un-handy husband was able to put it together within in an hour without any problems. The drop rail seems to slide quite easily and the drawer is sturdy and will hold quite a few extra sheets and blankes. Overall, the crib is very sturdy and solid. We got the natural wood tone and it looks great in our light sage room. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I can definitely seeing it last for many years to come.

After extensive research we settled on this crib. We had a tight budget, but wanted a crib that was sturdy and would last a long time. It arrived only a few short days after I ordered it. My not-so-handy husband put it together within an hour and had no problems. The drop rail slides easily and the drawer will fit plenty of extra sheets and blankets. The natural wood looks great against our light sage green walls. I find it to be very sturdy (especially when compared to other similarly priced cribs), solid and well-made. I can definitely see it lasting through a few kids. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this crib.
