A little backstory: my husband and I had wanted to plan on doing a Montessori floor bed for our son when he was ready to transition to his own room, but realized that, for us, this may not happen for quite some time (and by that point we may just go straight to toddler bed). Our 11 week old son had recently outgrown his smaller bassinet, and in this transition has been sleeping in the bassinet insert in a pack n play in our room- but now that he is more active and wiggling and kicking all the time, the pack n play bassinet just does not feel stable (plus the “mattress” is really just more of a board which I can’t imagine would be comfy for sleeping).
Just received the crib yesterday, and my husband set it up last night in our bedroom (our son will sleep in our room until at least 6 months, if not longer). As far as I know, it was relatively easy and straightforward to set up, although the longer front and back pieces weren’t labeled up from down so my husband just had to flip it around at one point to get all the edges along the top flush.
Obviously have not had this crib long enough to comment on durability, but it feels extremely stable (which was my main worry when ordering a crib that was under $100). It does not wiggle at all, and all of the joints are completely tight together. I was worried about the hardware not being hidden like some of the more expensive crib models, but the ebony color we ordered came with dark charcoal/black hardware so it barely shows at all. Not sure that would have been the case with the hardware that comes with the other color options.
We have the Newton Baby crib mattress (also highly recommend!) and it fits so perfectly in this crib- so snug down in the frame there’s not even a hair of space between the mattress and the slats.
I didn’t really check the height of the crib before ordering, so was a little surprised with how low it seems overall- but I actually prefer that, since our son’s nursery is pretty small I think it will feel more size-appropriate for the space once we move it in there.
Will update in the future if this changes, but so far, very happy we took the chance on this very affordable, cute little crib!
