It's beautiful and definitely well made, but its almost impossible to keep it level, even with the included metal stands. Its very poorly balanced and far too easy to tip or lean to one side or the order.  This was a baby shower gift from my mom.  She and my wife absolutely loved it for its look and build quality, unfortunately functionality is another story.  Our son only slept in it a few times because as soon as he would roll or lean to one side the cradle would pitch in the same direction, so we would always find him sleeping against one of the guard rails. I ended up putting small rubber chucks under all four corners to keep it stable and level.
