The crib arrived in great condition, it was easy to put together, and it feels very sturdy. It had a bit of an odor for the first few days but nothing too bad or crazy. Mostly just reminded me of new furniture. Will probably give it 5 Stars after Baby arrives in March 2013. I love that it comes with the toddler rail and that it doesn't require special rails to convert to a full sized bed; it only needs a double ended metal mattress frame that we can easily pick up when the time comes. That feature was definitely one of the deciding factors between this one and a DaVinci Crib. The price difference was also a bonus. The espresso color is great. So far I'm really pleased with the purchase.
