We ordered this crib after reading the glowing reviews. Sadly our experience has been very disappointing. Reasons:
- First, the packaging of this crib is really poor. Halfway through assembling the crib I found that one of the end panels was broken. We ordered a replacement and to our dismay even that arrived broken!!! I checked the packaging and there was gash on the packaging causing the end panel (no foam protection for this poor piece!!) to break. Rather than order yet another replacement we just used the 2 end panels from the two packages. Thankfully I hadn't returned the other damaged crib yet.
- Second while putting the crib together we noticed a lot of places where the paint wasn't smooth. You could easily feel slightly sharp bumps when running your finger over them. While I agree that they are not sharp for us I am a little afraid for if they can accidentally cut or bruise the baby. Maybe I am just being paranoid.
- Third: I am not very pleased with the material in the crib. The drawer feels just like an ikea drawer (even though the crib costs much more) and I was afraid of moving the pieces around while I was assembling the crib. I was constantly afraid that one of the wooden bars in the end panels would break. Seriously it feels that light.
I had much higher expectations form a crib that is at least double the price of other top sellers and seems such highly rated. Get more detail about Babyletto Mercer Convertible Crib in Two Tone Espresso and White.
