We were on the hunt for the perfect crib that was a convertible, but didn't break the bank. After reading the reviews, I knew we had made the right decision. Aside from NO directions in the box, which made assembly a nightmare, we finally got the crib set up and are very pleased. There are no nicks or dings, like the other reviewers have noted. It fights perfectly in the spot we were using. Now we impatiently await the birth of our son. Can't wait to use it!
