(More customer reviews)I received the crib about 1 week after purchase (Free Super Saver Shipping). The box was pretty mangled but the crib was in perfect condition. I am 37 wks along and put the crib together myself in about an 1hr (using a screw gun instead of a screw driver), much to the dismay of my DH. The drawer is pretty flimsy I plan to put items in there that won't be used very often. Also, it's probably wise not to over tighten the screws to the drawer because I think it would definitely split the wood, the directions mention that as well.
As long as you organize the parts before starting the assembly you'll be fine in getting the crib together without issue. It would be nice if the crib had casters but since it doesn't I used furniture glides so I can move it easily across the carpet. I worried about the sides not being movable but I talked to a friend who has a crib with movable sides and she said she never uses it so that got me over that hump. I purchased a crib skirt since you can see into the drawer from above/below the mattress. Also, since the top rail is wider/thicker than most "conventional" cribs I found that I couldn't attach a mobile to it, and I haven't figured out a solution to that issue yet.
Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend this crib if you are looking for a modern design.

April 2011: Baby #2 is now residing in this crib and it still looks and functions just as great as it did for Baby #1. The drawer is still functioning (even w/having moved 2x since the original assembly). Baby #1 & #2 have both left teething marks on the top rail. I used a dark furniture stain marker/pen to try and "erase" the teething marks which worked pretty well. I have since attached "sticky" teething guards. Baby #3 is set to arrive this Sept. and will be moving into the crib, so I feel that we have definitely gotten our money's worth from this beautiful modern crib. Oh, and the solution I found for the mobile...the Fisher Price Rainforest Waterfall Soother attaches securely to the top rail and the kids can (when they are big enough) turn it on themselves. I still highly recommend this crib. :)
