I live in a TINY condo...and my newborn has to share a room with us. We got this mini crib last night and it was assembled in approximately 30-45 min. It wasn't too difficult. ** The crib is actually beautiful! I put my 3 month old girl in it last night and she slept like a champ (she just graduated out of her bassinet). Please be sure to buy the additional mattress!! The one it comes with is thin and makes crinkly noises!!

I love this crib, its sturdy, beautiful, and compact for our one bedroom appt! While baby is small it's nice to be able to put her beside our queen bed. It does seem a little big for a 3-4 months old baby, when she turns she is sliding to either side of the crib, sometimes her legs are stuck between the rails and sometimes she presses her head against them, and she starts crying suddenly at night. Bumper would be useful but they don't recommend it in order to avoid SIDS...
My recommendation for manufacturer would be making all the screws of the same size, since its a hassle to figure out which ones go where! I had to ask two more people to help with the crib

Loved the crib! Good size for our duplex townhome. Crib lasted almost 2 years then we converted to toddler bed with same mattress. Very happy with very affordable purchase. No complaints whatsoever! Didn't scartch easily. Was very sturdy. Easy to assemble. Mattress fit beautifully.....

The crib is sturdy and solid, assembled quickly. It was great for a small apartment, but both of my kids outgrew it quickly (@ 6m and 8m) so we ended up having to buy a full-size crib at 6m for our first. If you definitely need a small space solution, look for a cheaper option

my daughter sleeps in this crib comfortably all night long she is two months old and long an di feared she would out grow it but there is plenty of room for her . the crib is sturdy and very noce well worth the money standard crib sheets fit in it but you do have to get a mini crib mattress

I have just loved this little crib. Being a first time grandparent that gets to babysit and have sleep overs now and then, this is PERFECT! It is so sturdy even the toddler stages won't budge it. I went ahead and purchased the Baby Mod mini crib mattress at my local wal-m discount store, because the thin pad that came with didn't seem like it would be comfortable. This mattress was a perfect fit for this crib. I used regular crib sheets by buying those stretchy mattress bands that hold the sheet tightly underneath. My granddaughter slept in this crib from being just days old to just now outgrowing it at 16 months old. Definitely a five star rating on this crib!!!

I received this product with the 1" pad which was insufficient as many reviewers said. SO I went online and purchased a true mattress with the dimensions indicated on the pad 38x24. However, when I received it, it did not seem to fit the bed and looked 2" too big! So I called Million dollar baby to ask them what I should do since they sold a bed with a pad that have the incorrect dimensions. No news so far. Reading the previous review, I turned the fixations of the platform downwards so I could fit my mattress in. It was a long journey but finally made it. The crib looks very nice, great finish and sturdy. The dimensions written are incorrect, the bed is may be 1" smaller and the pad is not 38x24. By making the change on the platform, you can fit a 38x24 mattress but wont be able to use the last level of the platform (too high).

The dimensions given for this crib are accurate but the mattress platform has brackets that cut into these dimensions which means you need a smaller mattress. I did LOADS of research and reassured myself that the 5" spring matress with rods was going to be OK. I checked the height issue and compared against the Da Vinci mattress dimensions. Their matress is actually SMALLER than the given dimensions so that it will fit in their own crib. Very annoying. I ended up flipping the brackets so they were underneath and not in the way. Means the crib wont drop as low as it needs to be but I'll deal with that when I get to it - having an organic mattress was more important to me. Da Vinci customer service were not very appologetic.

This is a great in-between crib. We had our son in a bassinette until he was 3 months old, but he quickly outgrew it. We were looking for something bigger than the bassinette but smaller than his full-sized crib that we could keep in our bedroom. This crib is the perfect size. It's also very study, but we recommend ordering the DaVinci 3" mattress to go along with it - the pad that comes with it is flimsy and cheap. Overall we are very pleased with the product.

I put together this crib in an afternoon by myself and it was really easy. My son is 6months old and huge for his age but he still has plenty of room. Only con is that the mattress it comes with is very thin, get the 3 inch one. Standard size pack'n'play sheets fit it perfectly.

The thing I like most about this crib is that although it is small enough to go in the master bedroom, it is a crib--- not a pack n'play!

I got this mini crib instead of buying a basinett and full size crib. I figure that I can use it in my bedroom for a few months and then move it into the nursery without having to buy two different products.
The construction is sturdy and the directions were easy to follow, although I did print off a picture for reference. I put it together myself, at 35 weeks pregnant, in a little over an hour.
I was under the impression, however that I would recieve an actual metal spring mattress with the crib, and did not. Also, I was confused as to whether or not I needed a seperate mattress, aside from the included pad. I think the pad itself is sufficient, but I still will buy a seperate, thicker pad.
Overall, great product for the price and I think i'll get some great use out of it!

We purchased this crib to use in our small one bedroom apartment. The size is just right for our son's first year. The crib is sturdy and we've received many compliments. We're very pleased! We did purchase another mattress to place over the thin pad that came with the crib. For the bedding, we ordered the Organic Velour set available on this site as well as the portable crib jersey sheets.

PROS: it's cute, sturdy, & of course it will turn into a TWIN bed when we're ready. CONS: mattress board is very thin plywood so we're not quite sure it will stand up to a jumping toddler. A thick mattress will help distribute the weight but we'll probably add supports. Although, once he can stand up the board is supposed to be all the way down (9" from the ground) so if it DID break he wouldn't fall far.
