We purchased this crib after our son's very expensive crib was recalled.  I was initially very concerned about buying a less expensive crib, however this one pleasantly surprised me.  It is extremely sturdy and well constructed.  It looks just as good as cribs that will cost you triple the price.  I am a big fan of the instructions being printed on the bottom of the crib.  You never have to worry about losing them! The crib was easy to assemble and fits a standard crib mattress perfectly.  My only small complaint with the crib is that some of the slats are very wide which makes it had to attach a crib bumper. But you only use the bumper for such a short time, I think it is a very minor issue.  I would definitely reccomend this crib!
