Graco Convertible Crib
My teenage daughter assembled this for our family and said it was simple to put together. (Just read the labels) It looks good, rolls smoothly on carpet, and the sides adjust up and down with ease. Fair price, free shipping and delivered to my door.
you get what you pay for
Just got this crib delivered yesterday (free super saver shipping, and it actually arrived the very next day!). The assembly was simple enough (pretty good instruction manual), but although it looks nice, the drop side feature doesn't really work. The side with the drop feature feels kind of rickety when its "locked" in the up position, and I can't get it to drop smoothly when I've tried it. I'm thinking of ordering different, and more sturdy parts to put on it instead, as the drop hinges are made of plastic and don't give me the feeling of security I'd prefer once I start putting my baby to sleep in there.
I will say that the wood color and condition is really attractive. This is a great looking crib for the money, but I think its a classic case of "you get what you pay for" with the design and durability.
easy to set it up. but missing a bolt.
I just spent about 1 hour to set it up myself. looks like good purchase for the money. no paint smell or dropping.
the height is controlled by 4 bolts, if you want low it down, you need to remove and re-intall 4 bolts. a little uncomfortable about the drop side: it's kind of shaky, but for baby, it should be strong enough. I'm not compliant it for the price.
another thing: I still need a bolt. it should have 4 "I" (or the longest) bolts and 8 "J" (or the longer ) bolts, but the package had 3 and 9 instead, so I have to contact either amazon or the manufacturer for the bolt.
btw: I found several reviews (googled) for this crib said the same problem (wrong bolts or missing bolts). I guess they should pay little more attention for this issue. :)
overall, I thought it's a good crib for the price. I did not use it yet, but still want to give it 4 stars for the feeling. if it did not give me wrong bolt, I would give it 4.5 .
*note: contacted with the company by email, they just asked the type, ID number, time and etc. I got the bolt within 3 days. the crib is strong enough now. :)
Good crib for the money
We ordered this crib because it was featured in the book "Baby Bargains" (btw if you are a new parent, I highly recommend this book--it's amazing!) as one of the best cribs to buy for the least amount of money. It was easy to assemble, although I found it strange that the instructions did not have a page labeling all of the screws with the corresponding letter. It is a solid crib that easily converts to a daybed (no extra purchase necessary, which is nice) and doesn't take up much space. I do have to admit that we have not used the crib for our baby yet (she's due in a few months), but I don't foresee any features of the crib to be problematic.
