Ended up side-car-ing the crib. Exclusively breastfeeding & getting up in the night even having it a foot away is to disturbing for my sleep. The wood had some blemishes & imperfections & a few minor dings on the finish. I like the look of it. Seems fairly well constructed. Assembly instructions were pretty weak sauce. A tad complicated to assemble. Wish it was slightly lower on front side - hard to not drag babies legs on wood in night to place on mattress at highest setting. Or wish the mattress highest setting was higher for bassinet option..for the price think it will serve us well for awhile.
