I was wiry at first cause the measurements seemed small! It's not small at all, the height measures exactly what the other crib fronts measure that have higher backs. I'm 5'.8" and I don't have to bend down very far to pick up baby. It looks great too, there's no exposed screw heads(which drives me nuts) it's transitional yet modern and looks more expensive than it really is. I've shaken this crib and it doesn't budge, so it's sturdy too, and very easy to assemble. Overall, don't be worried if you haven't seen it in person, it's exactly like the photos, just as cute and great looking! Buy it from here cause they allow you to return it if you don't like it, but I'm sure you'll love it!
