We got this for our son's nursery. It seems very sturdy and was easy to assemble.  I really like the color, it's a dark grey.  It is not as bulky and giant looking as other cribs I have seen at baby furniture stores, which is the look I was going for. I can't speak to the other configurations of the crib (as a toddler bed or full bed), but it seems easy to change as there is only a little hardware and the directions are clear.
