LOVE the simpleness and clean lines of this crib. A little curve in the headboard, footboard, and side panels add just enough interest so that it's not completely a straight box. The Espresso color is a bit lighter than I would have liked but still works and is a nice solid piece. Only downfall is that there are a couple defects: The headboard - The top piece where it adjoins appears to not have been completely adhered together (see photo) & the top of the right side panel appears to have defects in either the stain or you can see the seams where they joined the pieces of wood (see photos) that none of the other pieces have/show. I put a replacement request into customer service tonight so I hope to have those pieces soon so that I can complete my son's nursery in preparation for his big arrival. Would've given 5 stars but we'll see how easily & quickly the replacement is handled.
