My wife and I have been looking at cribs for several weeks. We finally decided to give the Delta Children a try, mainly based on other reviewers comments. We have not been disappointed. The crib has a rich finish (Black Cherry Espresso) and is very solid. We had previously looked at cribs by Pottery Barn and Million Dollar Baby, both companies have great products that are really well made, but I am not sure we can tell a 200% or more difference based on the prices. This crib seems like it will stand the test of time. I would make one suggestion on assembly, if you have a ratcheting allen wrench, it will go much faster. There is a great YouTube video put together that guides you through assembly step-by-step. It took us approximately 1.5 hours to put it together.Pros: Great finish, solid construction, fairly easy assembly.Cons: Lots of styrofoam sticks to the wood. Just takes a little patience to wipe it off and deal with the static
