Great quality, easy assembly, beautiful finish. Loved the detailing on the rails and it truly was a breeze to put together. The bed spring looked complicated but once you look at it more closely it makes sense even without the instructions. We probably put it together in 20 minutes. Great buy!

Crib was easy to set up as we did it in less than an hour. It looks really nice. And the adjusting mattress levels are great making it easy to pick up baby without a lot of extra stooping. Only complaint is that the box it came in was badly damaged, but luckily not a scratch on the crib.

Love this bed! I wanted something classy and didn't look like your typical crib which can look cage like. This crib is elegant and very sturdy. I got tons of compliments on it and now that my daughter is 2 1/2 she's still sleeping in this bed which is converted to a small toddler size day bed. It's perfect. I was going to go with the bigger version but my husband convinced me this one was just as nice and he liked the overall look better.

We ordered this crib from Babies r Us store on a Sunday afternoon and it was ready for pickup that Wednesday evening (3 day turnaround). My wife and I were looking for a crib that looked as nice and sturdy as the "big" ones for a reasonable price (we also looked at Buy Buy Baby and Crib City). This one was perfect and the other places did not have anything for as good of a value in our opinion. Note: We found the crib on sale in January 2012 for [$] and it rang-up for [$] so it felt like a steal for that price.We easily assembled the crib in 1 hour after unboxing the parts and hardware (could easily be done by one person too). Everything was in the box and packaged well (no missing pieces or hardware). Having assembled many pieces of furniture before, this crib did NOT have a lot of the cheaper type of hardware that you see in a lot of cheap furntire. It was very well designed/manufactured.This crib in nice because it isn't too big compared to a lot of the other cribs and you can actually turn the crib for either side facing out or even long-ways out from the wall. It would even look nice in the middle of a large room if that's what someone was looking for in a crib. It does not have to be facing "one-way" like a lot of cribs with the large back on them.FYI: This crib came with the extra hardware for the toddler rails. So if you wanted to convert it, you would only need the parts.Cons: None so far.

My husband and I wanted a classy crib but did not want a crib that would convert all the way to a full size bed. We wanted the option to get a different kind of bed (bunk beds, etc) if we wanted. This is a beautiful, classy, very sturdy crib that doesn't take up a lot of room.

This crib is great! I did a ton of research before deciding on this crib (months of bedrest gave me plenty of time to research!) My daughter is now almost 7 months old and we still love it!
We were unable to physically see one in the store since we don't have a Babies R Us nearby, but a relative was able to stop at one, so when she said it was sturdy and looked very nice we bought it. And it definitly is sturdy so I am sure it will take all the abuse my daughter will be able to dish out on it!

The only small problem I have with this crib is that when lowering the mattress holder, which we just recently did, we had to take the whole shelf out to lower it to the 2nd setting then replace it back into the crib. Having said that, it still only took us about 5-10 minutes to do.

I do wish that it came with the toddler bed rail (however it does come with the hardware for the toddler bed conversion). We will be purchasing that soon.

All-in-all this is a wonderful crib and I fully expect this to hold up nicely as my daughter grows as well as be able to handle our future children.

After looking for cribs for a second baby, this crib is still my favorite. My husband and I have no interest in a large lifestyle convertible crib that can be a full size bed some day. This crib is great though because it still converts to a toddler bed with the guard rail or to a daybed without it. Another nice feature is that it is very sturdy. We have a 22 pound toddler that loves to jump in the crib and this does not move at all. We looked at other smaller and less expensive cribs and can't find one that is as nice or as sturdy as this. The crib is also nice because it isn' t huge or very pricy. We like it so much that we are buying another one for our second baby on the way.

We saw this crib on display at Babiesrus, and my husband immediately fell in love with it. It's a sturdy, nice-looking crib, and it doesn't take up a lot of room. When shopping for a crib, associates usually point you to a huge convertible crib that is expensive and takes up a lot of room. This crib gives you everything you need without having to sacrifice a lot of space, which is great for a nursery that may be small.

Don't be fooled by the "single crib" description for this crib. It still converts to a toddler bed and to a day bed like the others; it's just not monstrous in size.

The only drawback is that the toddler guardrail for this crib is a special order, which can take up to 12 weeks, and you have to order it in the store. Don't try to do it online because you'll be sent the wrong one. In fact, here's the item number for the guardrail: 983769. I recommend you order it when you order your crib so you'll have it. Then, you won't have to deal with delays like back orders or even discontinuation of the piece. Other than that, the crib is great. We just converted it to a toddler bed, which was wonderful (after getting sent the wrong piece twice because we tried to order it online). Our daughter got to stay in her sleeping space that she was already comfortable with, and we just put up the guardrail on one side. It was a great transition for her. She continued to sleep through the night after we put it on.
