 Very Good Crib November 5, 2008
I. Fayyaz (Warren, MI)
The crib came in a slightly damaged box but everything was accounted for. It was easy to set-up though the instructions could have been a little more clear. The wood seems to be sturdy and high quality. We have not fully tested the crib yet because our little one isn't here yet but I am sure he or she will love it!
The only thing I wish they would improve is to include tabs for the bolts on the outside so that it blends in with the finish.

The direction to assemble was adequate but could be better. After tightening the screws I could detect very slight wobble as in all assembled furnitures but the product is generally solid.
Made of good quality softwood pine all through except the drawer. The drawer-bottom is nothing but hardboard and there is a piece of wood that is supposed to support this wide drawer. This support is badly designed and is apt to come off from screws (you don't put a screw along the grain direction... always across!) Luckily I have a hand saw and drill and ran to HD to get a piece of construction moulding-like piece to replace that support at an angle under the drawer.
I also got a $99 Sealy mattress with it. After putting the mattress the bed-height is good enough even for a short person to reach and lift the baby.
As I checked today again, the price shows something like $400+! Must be a mistake... if not there are other web stores selling it for $270 delivered.
So Far I'm Impressed... The Cherry Finish is Beautiful! October 24, 2008
K. Batiste (New Orleans, Louisiana United States)
I hadn't seen this crib in person before I ordered it from amazon.com so needless to say I was worried because shipping something back this large is nearly impossible and extremely costly. Overall this is a great crib. I have not used it yet because my baby isn't due for a few more months but I can say that it seems very sturdy and solid and the cherry finish is beautiful. The instructions aren't fool-proof but after about 2.5 hours we were able to get this crib set up. At first I didnt like the fact that the screw holes were exposed but another reviewer mentioned that the covers/caps for the screw holes could become a choking hazard so now I am happy they aren't covered. The crib was packaged very well and it arrived without any scratches or chips in the finish however we did scratch the crib near one of the screw holes when putting it together. This probably could have been avoided if we were more careful but after an hour or so we were just ready to get it done and started rushing. The included drawer is not great but it works. It is not made of real wood like the crib itself but it seems fairly sturdy and could certainly be used to hold extra bed linens.
Very happy with this crib October 20, 2008
Dallas E. Beach (South Riding, VA)
We are very happy with this crib. Due to reading the many comments about dings, we decided to go with the natural crib to help hide any flaws. The crib arrived in perfect condition, well-packed, and we didn't notice any dings during assembly. I agree that the directions could be improved. If you read all of the directions before beginning and figure out which hardware is which, it will go more easily.
To everyone complaining about wanting covers to hide the screws: they're a choking hazard! No reputable crib company would include them and it would be foolish to add them yourself. Remember, nothing so small that it can fit through a toilet paper tube is safe for baby. Anyway, that's my rant.
Enjoy the crib!

Very timely arrival of product exceeded our expectations for delivery. Product easily assembled (even though others had said was hard). All items fit perfectly including the drawer (again some had said there were challenges). Daughter is very happy with the design, workmanship, and how sturdy it looks. I am sure the baby will enjoy it come February. Also purchased the matching crib mattress which fit snugly into the crib, exactly how you would want it to fit. Very satisfied.
