DaVinci Kalani Convertible Baby Crib bedding
400 bucks for baby size dressers?MDF and cheaply made?I would recommend going to a furniture store and purchase a real dresser for less or at least comparable that will outlast the crib stage.Features that were hard to find in one crib but offered in this one: rich cherry finish that complements other cherry furniture in the baby's room.Perfect for a shorty like me to easily set down a sleepy baby.I finally decided on this one because as it turned out, the expensive Sorelle also used cam-locks on most of their cribs.I don't recall the brand but the color match is great and can be used as a credenza once potty trained.MDF panel to support my bouncing baby boy.4 height settings.But I would not spend $$ on the furniture accessories from DaVinci.3 settings that are either too far apart or does not make much of a difference.MDP could slip and slide around.Another recommendation: corner changing table in cherry.I don't like the DaVinci changing table as it looks silly to use it as anything else with that immovable side rail.So that was the deal breaker.I have Broyhill dresser, chest, and nightstand for his room that matches the crib and I know will last after he's done with the crib (off to college and converted back to a guest room).Cons: Nothing for the crib.This is for my 3rd child as I converted the old one already.
The Kalani is sturdy despite the few cam-locks.Grandpa had no problem with the assembly and finished within an hour.
I was on the fence about spending $600 on a solid crib or this one.
