Overall, we are very happy with this crib. But I did want to draw attention to the misleading description.
The ad for this indicates that the crib "converts" to a full-size bed. This is not accurate. The directions that come with it basically tell you that to "convert" it to a full-size bed, you follow some steps to basically disassemble the entire crib, and then the large side attaches to a full-size bed (NOT INCLUDED!!) as a headboard.
Considering it shows a picture of it without letting you know that there isn't any way to convert the frame to a full-sized bed, I consider that deceptive. They could have easily said that it converts to the headboard of a full-sized bed. That would have been more honest.
Apart from that, and the fact that the directions for assembling are not entirely clear (we had to disassemble a couple of parts and reassemble a few times because the directions weren't clear) and the parts are not super well-marked for assembly, this seems to be a solid, well-constructed crib.
Just make sure you know exactly what it is you're getting. At best it's solidly a 2-in-1 (crib and toddler bed). What's really the difference between the toddler bed and the day bed? Arrangement of the pillows, I guess! ;)
