WHAT A GREAT CRIB!!!
"After searching for a safe, simple crib we decided on this one. It is made in the USA, has a nontoxic finish and it could not be more simple. It took 4 screws and 4 bolts to put it together and it matches any decor and any other true white furniture. A+"

Very Happy
"My husband and I bought this crib for our first baby after doing a LOT of research and shopping around. It was a difficult decision, but we're sure we made the right choice. The crib is beautiful, solidly made, and very easy to put together!"

Beautiful crib!
"We bought this crib while we were expecting and have been so happy with it. It's a gorgeous, sturdy, well-made piece of furniture and was very easy for my husband to assemble. Looks great in our daughter's nursery and I love that it can take her to her toddler years and then - hopefully - do duty again for a little brother or sister. My only complaint is that it's hard for me to put the baby down in the crib - I'm very petite and I bought this in part because of reviews that said "I'm petite and I have no trouble getting the baby in and out of the crib!" I think I would have had trouble no matter what crib I ordered, but I was hoping to avoid having to "Mom forklift" the baby - so if you're 5'0" or under, it's not a miracle crib. But it's still a lovely, lovely piece and we couldn't be happier. And as a bonus, Land of Nod sent a beautiful Aden + Anais blanket as a "thank you for buying your crib from us" gift. Well played, Land of Nod, well played!"

Great crib
"I bought this crib for my NYC apt. and it's great. I was worried it wouldn't fit, but it does and the wood is very solid and sturdy. I love that it is made in the USA too."

Great Crib!
"We bought this crib for our 2nd child and I only wish I had purchased it for our 1st (who is still in a crib). It was very easy to put together and is very sturdy/well-made. It wasn't difficult to put the mattress down when she began to pull herself up. I also like that it's simple and can be used for future babies (boy or girl)."

This is a Straight Up Great Crib
"Easily packaged and easy to assemble. We have loved this crib for our son and used all three height setting during his first year. At 15 months, the crib is going strong and still looks beautiful in the nursery. I would absolutely use this for either a boy or girl. The straight lines go with a wide array of decor and the white color has held up nicely. We have a few nicks from a futile attempt from our son to "eat" it - he's chewing everything in sight - but the crib has held up nicely. I'd purchase again in a heartbeat."

Simply adorable.
"Love this crib - just so sweet and simple. Had a heck of a time putting it together, but that was more a factor of being nine months pregnant than any deficiency with the crib itself. The finish is beautiful, but watch out for baby's teeth on the rail if you want to keep it that way! I'd definitely recommend a teething rail to protect it."

Looove this crib
"We bought this crib for our first baby to come home from the hospital with us... And 2.5 years later, he's still happily sleeping in it (even right now, actually!). I thought about transitioning him out when his little brother came along, but it was still looking great and holding up way beautifully... And I didn't want needless midnight wakeups from a wandering 2-year old! So we got another exactly the same for his baby brother. I figure two of the same great crib will set us up nicely if we ever have twins. :)
One other note to mention - we did have an issue of paint chipping off a rail, I think from my son banging on it with something hard about a year ago. LoN was over the top with service and had a new one sent to us when I called to ask for touch-up paint. Can't go wrong with this crib or LoN!!

Well-Made, Easy To Put Together
"This crib is solidly-made, and it's clear that it's made in America. It took us less than 30 minutes to put it together, and much of that time was just unpacking the crib and reading the instructions. I have no doubt that this product is well worth the money that we paid for it."

Beautiful Crib
"This crib is exactly what we were looking for. It is sturdy, simple, and beautiful.
It arrived quickly and easily, it was easy to assemble (My husband could have done it himself, but I helped him and I was 8 months pregnant).
I am 5'3" and I was a little concerned that I would have trouble putting the baby down and picking her up, but the highest level was fine for me when laying her down or picking her up, although I had to get on my toes a few times. We lowered it once she was sitting up and then she was standing pretty fast, so she helps me get her out from the lowest level, and the shortness problem is not an issue anymore."

"This crib is great!
First, I love that it's made in the USA!! Also it's very well made and sturdy. We got it in the white and it's a great white, not off-white and the paint looks great.

Great Looking; Great Quality!
"We bought two of the straight up cribs, as well as the corresponding conversion kits, for our boy-girl twins. We have loved them from the moment we put them together, and we're going on three years now! These cribs are great looking, are very well made, and have stood up to the test of time. I highly recommend!"

Stylish and Sturdy
"This is a great crib. It was super easy and quick to put together, with clear instructions, and you can tell the materials are high-quality and well-made. I love how it looks in our marine-themed nursery (though it's so simple I think it would fit in with nearly any decor). I feel very comfortable imagining our soon-to-arrive son sleeping in it."

Simple, elegant, solid
"We purchased this crib for our first child's nursery almost 3 years ago and it is now being used by our second child. It was easy to setup and adjust as the baby grew. We particularly loved the simple, low-profile design. It didn't take up too much room in fhe nursery either. It has held up very well. It still looks new even after 3 years of use."
