Graco Ashleigh Classic Convertible Crib Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great crib! We are very pleased with our purchase. It is very sturdy, solid crib and looks so classy. The price we got this for was great! I really like the solid head and base boards. The only downside to this is that it would be difficult to attach bumpers. We have never tried since you aren't supposed to use bumpers once you baby can pull themselves up to standing, which is the stage our toddler was when we bought this. Like other reviews that I have read on this product, the Walnut crib is definitely not walnut color. It's a cherry color, but that was what I wanted, so that worked out. And I am glad that there is NO dropside.
In response to a previous review, the instructions stated to make sure the springs on the mattress support had their prong connectors facing down before putting your mattress on it or it would tear the mattress. So, the people who complained about the crib tearing their mattress simply didn't follow the instructions. The crib was relatively easy to assemble, with the only problem being that, when attaching the mattress support it was very hard to get tools into the small space to get the bolts tightened. Nothing 5 minutes of being diligent didn't fix.
Crib conversion seems very simple and left me feeling much more comfortable about buying a convertible crib. I was worried that the side that would be able to be removed would be a little less sturdy than the other sides, but after putting everything together, the side is bolted in tight. And when I need to convert, a few bolts disconnected and the side comes off and makes the bed into a toddler bed.
I purchased the Kolcraft Pediatric 2000 Mattress to go in the crib, and it fits perfectly. The crib directions said the crib takes mattresses no smaller than 51.5 x 27 x 5 inches. Along with that, I also purchased 2 of the the Easy Teether Crib Rail Cover in Ivory to go on the railing. It is about an inch or so smaller than the length of the crib rails, but an inch on the very end on the rail not covered is alright with me. It does the job. And other than that, it fits the rail very nicely.
I would definitely recommend this crib. It's very affordable and meets all of the safety standards.
