The crib was very protected during shipping and came in flawless condition. My 12 year old son put the crib together with ease. The baby is now 6 months old and the finish on the crib is holding up very well, no scratches. I still love looking at this crib and would purchase it again. 

Pros: ease of assembly, quality product, looks amazing, converts to toddler bed (railing included with crib)
Cons: price
