This is actually our second time buying this crib -- we loved it so much for our first daughter, we saw no reason to buy a different, more expensive crib for our second daughter. The first one we bought has held up beautifully, and we plan to convert it to a toddler bed soon. Just a classic, well-made piece of furniture. You won't regret this purchase! Looks beautiful with jenny lind furniture from Land of Nod, too!
