We are happy with the purchase. Unfortunately I didn't look closely and the thick bars cover the pleat in the skirt we got. I am also a little bothered by the large metal piece in the corners which makes the skirt lay a little weird. I am worried when we go to move the mattress down (when baby gets bigger), the large holes for the higher levels will still show. I wish it had come with some stockers or something for that. Overall, we are happy with the purchase.
