My husband and I were trying to match a dresser we already had for our son, and this crib looks beautiful with it. He and his father assembled it in about 30 minutes, directions were clear and the hardware was easy enough to figure out. The natural wood is highly versatile with our color scheme (blues and red). The 3 mattress heights are perfect; I'm only 5'2 so I don't have to crawl in the crib to get our son out.

Absolutely LOVE this bed!!! Bought this for my son who is now 13 months. We have moved 3 times since he was big enough for a crib and this has been the EASIEST, NICEST baby product we invested in! We are pregnanct with number 4 and we have just purchased this same crib for this baby since they will be in cribs at the same time!!! SOOOO EASY to assemble/dissasemble! Lightweight and such a nice color to lighten up a room!!!

This was the easiest crib I've ever put together, it litterally snaps in place and is completely sturdy! That's saying a lot because my son really gives it a hard time jumping while holding on to the sides and rattling the rails! I don't know why one reviewer said it's a fixed side crib because one side DOES go down, you just push in a little bit and it slides right down. My husband is also in the army and it's so easy and helpful to have a crib that just snaps together so easily but is so sturdy because I know that once they get it off the truck for us all we have to do is just hold up the sides and just snap the pieces in place.

I wanted a light natural wood crib for my son's room to match a dresser, I couldn't find any at any stores that were as light as this one. My husband is currently deployed in Iraq so I'm doing everything myself, I didn't think it was possible, but I assembled the entire crib myself in less than an hour. Took a little longer then it would have because the instructions make the bolts look exactly the same so I started off with the wrong ones :// but after I restarted it was SO simple! Looks great and is very sturdy. Definately a good deal.

Looks/features: This is a great, neutral, looking crib that should fit in nearly any nursery color scheme, the slight sleight curvature at the top and the bottom adds style without being ostentatious. The wood is a nice color and feels sturdy, though I think its soft enough that we would get a teething cover for the sides when the baby gets to that age. The mattress support is made of metal, rather than wooden ones we have seen elsewhere and again nicely manufactured and feels very durable.

Assembly: This was straight-forward and took about 20 minutes, though you do need two people so one can hold things upright while the other person screws them together. The holding things upright, is just balancing the items and does not actually entail having to hold any weight (my wife helped with that part) though the assembly is going to require someone who can bend/crouch and get up and down off the floor (My part in this).

Fixed/Drop Sided Debate: When looking at cribs, I would recommend that you check the height of the sides for comfort and also, if you are comparing a fixed sided against a drop sided, measure the height from the top of the side to the floor. We found that that the drop sided usually only drop a little below the fixed sided and raise a little higher (around a 6 inch total movement). In my opinion, unless one of the people needing to get baby in and out is fairly short, the drop side doesn't add a lot of benefit. Also, the way all the cribs that we looks at were built, the drop side makes cribs feel less solid and more prone to flex because the one side is not fixed and the other side has some type of spacer either end of the side to make the length the same as the drop side. With this model there is no requirement for spacers, as it's a fixed side, and so the two sides and the top and bottoms all directly connect to each other giving a very solid frame.

Convertibility: This cribs converts into a toddler bed by the removal of one of the sides and does not convert to a full sized bed. A lot of Cribs feature being able to turn into toddler beds/Full size beds. If you like that feature something to think about. Most cribs convert into a very adult looking bed, rather than a children's style bed (I'm thinking bright paint, Cartoon/Story Characters). So a lot of people are going to want to get a different bed for the pre-teen years and will end up storing or giving away the crib. If you really want the crib conversion to a full sized bed, check what additional parts you will need to buy as most of the cribs don't come with full sized rails, sides or box springs.

We bought this crib for a few reasons:1. The finish matches the dresser we already own beautifully.2. It is a smaller crib that will fit in city home without taking up the entire space.3. We didn't need it to become a full size bed as in 3 years we plan on our second child coming, so our son will be in a "big boy" bed anyways.So far, this crib meets our Standards. I think it is absolutely beautiful and love it in our Red, White, and Blue themed room. We are about to move so we will see how it holds up in an Army PCS. [...]

Crib has 3 height settings, a metal coil mattress support (vs plywood which many Delta cribs have), and has all fixed sides. The color is true to pics and other Delta 'natural' color. Being 5'3", the fixed side reaches mid-waist.I do have to get on tiptoes to reach *under* the baby for support when picking him up. Definitely outgassing after assembly...took 4 days for the smell to completely dissipate.

This was my second choice crib, the first crib I registered for was recalled. When I ordered this crib I didn't realize that the side doesn't come down, I thought this would be a problem!!! After researching many cribs I founf out they are doing away with cribs that sides come down. This crib is beautifull and very easy to assemble, I would absolutely reccommend!!!!

I originally also wanted the now discontinued drop down crib, but had to compromise with this one. [...] I am about five feet tall, and I was really concerned about being able to place the baby in a fixed side crib. So opening the box I was a little disappointed, but we decided to put it together anyways. It turns out to be the perfect height for me, and it was very easy to reach the mattress, even though my arms are very short and Im not that tall. This crib took about 20 maybe 25 minutes to put together and it is very sturdy and the wood quality is good. The color matches the picture perfectly.

This crib was very easy to put together. It took my husband and I less than 20 minutes to assemble! It is a good size and doesn't take up a ton of space in the room. Great quality at a great price!
