This crib is lower to the ground than my other crib which makes it easier for me to put baby in. it looks great, good quality and assembly was easy. The only improvement it could use is a plastic cover for the railing. My son chewed it like a rabbit so it has ugly bite marks. My pottery barn crib came with a plastic protector. I didn't think anything of it until my son went to town during his teething phase.  I purchased a rail covering seperate to protect the bed so we can convert later.
