This is a beautiful, functional crib. Pros: *Design and paint color are great (I have white) *3 Different mattress height settings are helpful, and important for safety *Haven't had a problem fitting accessories onto it like mobiles or crib soothers *Comes with rail teething guard *Drawer perfect for blankets, sheets, Boppy covers, etc. *Easy to assemble (I did it myself when I was VERY pregnant, though it recommends a second person to aid with assembly) *Was securely packaged when shipped Cons: *Somewhat noisy drop-side *Somewhat flimsy drawer (but I don't think as bad as others have said) *Changing the mattress height isn't too difficult, but the wooden bars of the crib get in the way just a bit when trying to screw/unscrew to change the height. I spent a lot of time doing research and comparisons when I purchased this crib. I'm still happy with my choice, as the cons listed are quite minor. The biggest annoyance is probably the noisy drop-side, but I don't think I've ever come across a silent drop-side. My favorite thing about this crib is definitely the beauty of the design. It truly looks like a well crafted piece of furniture. I've seen similar cribs with much higher price tags. Most importantly - I feel safe with this crib. My son, now almost a year old, has been getting good use of it - he even safely pulls himself up and stands in it without risk of tumbling out and over the top (of course, then he cries for me to come get him, but that's not the crib's fault). I was worried he'd protest when we switched from our mini co-sleeper to the crib (at 5 mo's), but we didn't have issues.

The baby is still in utero, but the crib is nice-looking. My husband and I assembled it together a few weeks ago, and the assembly wasn't difficult. When the baby comes in July, we'll have a better idea, but so far we're pleased with our choice.

This crib is gorgeous, solid, and completely worth the money. It looks a lot like the sleigh crib at Pottery Barn Kids but for half the price.
