Negative reviews are wrong.... I spend a VERY long time researching cribs. (2 months) My baby was using a pack n' play for a few months, but was outgrowing it. I liked the breath-ability of the pack n' play since it had mesh on the sides. But It was time to upgrade.I previously purchased a graco crib with a solid back, but I returned it because: 1.) It was extremely high off the ground. Even on its lowest setting. 2.) The solid backing made me feel very uncomfortable with the lack of airflow. So with this crib I wanted something low to the ground similar to the pack n' play. I wanted something, modern, solid built. Its beautiful and modern looking, without being too much. Very solid. I had my hesitations when putting it together, but once built its VERY solid. My baby loves this crib and sleeps so much better now. I feel safe with the rails all the way around knowing there is ample airflow. I cant say enough positive things about this crib. If your hesitating, don't! Order. Its BEAUTIFUL and you wont regret it. plus, Assembly was so easy!Update*** LOVING THIS CRIB. My baby has kicked and hit the bars and there has been no damage. I recently walked though IKEA and could not believe how much better quality this crib is. Their cribs wobbled. This crib is SOLID! So pleased with my purchase and will recommend to anyone who need a sturdy well made crib!*** Second update: Make sure you purchase crib rail liners before your baby starts teething lol.
