This crib looks very modern and chic, especially compared to a lot of cribs that you can see displayed in baby stores like Babies R Us or Buy Buy Baby. I chose to buy this crib online mostly because I wanted to get a modern feel that would fit in with other similarly colored dark wood furniture. I also purchased the matching changing table with drawers so the two pieces go very well together. The drawer below the crib is a nice bonus which can’t be found in many cribs and especially useful in a small apartment with limited storage space. This crib comes with a piece to convert the crib to a toddler bed. The construction was relatively easy (about 2 hours) since the four panels and mattress spring are already assembled pieces. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a more modern crib look at a reasonable price.
