I really like the price of this crib and the fact that a mattress came with it and it was free, which made it all more affordable.  I like the arch on the back, which will one day convert into a full-sized bed, which is really nice too!  The arch makes it look like a regular bed and not once a crib.  It's nice and sturdy, and I think it will last a long time!  Make sure to put it together in the room your baby will be in.  We put ours together in our bedroom and couldn't get it out the door and had to take off the hinges to get it out, so be aware of that!
