We love this crib. We chose it because it is all solid wood with no mdf. (The part that the mattress goes on is metal.)  We didn't want MDF or pressed wood etc. because we didn't want our baby to breathe formaldehyde while sleeping in the crib.  The price of the crib is much less than other cribs that are solid wood. The crib looks great - it looks modern, stylish, and high quality.  It looks very nice in our bedroom.  We got the brown crib to match our bedroom furniture.  My only regret is that we didn't get the white and brown one instead, since the crib is now in the baby's room where the other furniture is white.
