Beautiful!
"This is a beautiful, well-made crib that will stand the test of time. Classic, clean lines without an overly 'modern', harsh feel. The wood has a lovely warm color to it, and the assembly is solid."

Awesome crib
"This crib is wonderful. It's very sturdy and nicely made and it's very easy to put together. We used it at all three heights and as a toddler bed for my 2-year-old and now we're using it again for my newborn and it still looks just like new.
After shopping around it seems to be the best deal if you're looking for a crib that is made in America (particularly if you pick it up at the warehouse and avoid shipping charges)."

Beatiful, well made crib!
"We were looking for a crib made in the USA and out of hardwood (not pine - which may not last and also babies chew). This crib is a beautiful, solid hardwood maple, well made, easy to assemble, and converts to a toddler bed. We also wanted a natural wood color (most cribs these days are either white or expresso). This crib met all of our needs and is reasonably priced for such high quality. Yes, you can buy cheap pine cribs for less...but will they really last through toddler years and then again through high school when coverted to a full size bed (as advertised)? We were doubtful...buy this one!"

Great quality crib
"We are on kid #2 with this crib and it is remarkably sturdy and has stayed in excellent condition. It was easy to assemble and to change mattress levels.If you are short (like me), it's a little hard to smoothly get the baby into a lower level, so I use a little step stool to help... Other than that, no complaints at all! We love this crib."

Wonderful, Dainty Crib
"I'm a first time mom, and have done a lot of research into all our baby's products. We looked around a great deal before settling on this beautiful El Greco crib. It's a very pretty and cheerful looking part of the nursery -- not stark, if that's a concern. So many cribs are so ornate these days, I was a little concerned it was TOO simple, but the wood looks gentle, clean, and beautiful. Our daughter looks adorable in it. It is perfect for either a boy or girl, if you're thinking of future children who might use it. We really liked that it is made in the USA, not China like it seems 9 out of 10 of cribs (and all baby products) are these days! It was easy to assemble, and our daughter, who was not a great sleeper in her bassinet, has done very well in it. Land of Nod's customer service was excellent in scheduling delivery and answering a question of ours as well, and even followed up with a handwritten thank you note a few months later. We have been extremely happy with this purchase, and would definitely highly recommend this crib!"

5 years later, I still love this crib
"After five years and two boys, our Straight Up Crib is still solid, sturdy, and beautiful. My friends' cribs show a lot of dents, scratches and teeth marks but our looks as good as when we bought it. I still love the simple design, solid wood, and natural finish. This one isn't going to go out of style or wear out on us. A great purchase."

Sturdy Crib
"My husband and I fell in love with this crib and we are so glad our little one will grow up in it. It is made of heavy solid maple wood. The finish is nice and smooth and you can tell the construction quality is well made."

Excellent!!
"I called the Land Of Nod customer service department to order this crib as I was paying for it with a gift card and the balance on my credit card. That process was much easier than I thought it would be. They made it so easy. I thought it would be weeks for the crib to be delivered. It took just a day before I got a delivery date and time which was set for a week later. The crib was delievered and we set it up and it only took 5 minutes. I was so happy with the whole process and love the crib. Just gotta wait for the baby now. The crib looks great and it seems really sturdy and strong. My father is in the furniture business and was really impressed with the crib and we all love that it was made in America just 3 months ago."

simply perfect
"Should have written this review more than a year ago but you know how the first year and a half can be! We ordered this crib for our baby's nursery, loving the simple aesthetic, fact that it's made in the USA, and who does not love a solid maple crib? It was easy to assemble and to change levels when our son got bigger. We have the toddler conversion kit for when our son becomes a big boy."

Well-made crib
"This is a well-made crib. It is very sturdy and it's beautiful. I like that this crib is made in USA. The only complaint I have is that the bed is too tall for me. I'm about 5'5" and my 9-month old is using the lowest mattress height adjustment and I have a hard time putting him down."

Great standard crib
"It's sturdy, easy to assemble, and a great neutral for any nursery. Can work for a baby boy or girl which is perfect for long term flexibility with a growing family. Was hesitant to purchase online having not seen it in person, but really wanted a crib that was made in the USA. We have been very pleased and would definitely recommend!"

"This is not only a beautiful crib, but was easy to assemble and actually came with spings. My 2 year old is completely jealous of the "bounce" this bed has considering her bed is from PBKids (same price) and has only a plywood bottom. We paired the crib with the natural dresser which looks wonderful."

Holds its value
"We bought two of these cribs for our twins and used them for two and a half years. They are still in almost perfect condition. Unlike other cribs out there that may be cheaper, these cribs hold their value! They are the most sturdy, well-built cribs I have ever seen."

Quality,Simplicity, Beautiful, and Functional
"We looked all over for an American made crib - as we wanted QUALITY in the product - but also to support American made products. We were also looking for SIMPLICITY. Therefore, we were very excited when we found the Natural-Straight Up Crib - as it met our criteria. We live in MA - and wish they had a "The Land of Nod" store here - but our mother-in-law in IL made it to the Oakbrook store to check it out. Her words "IT IS BEAUTIFUL" was communicated back us and we know we had found our crib. We love the crib and it goes so well with our modern and simple Scandinavian decor. The crib is also truly FUNCTIONAL and we will eventually convert into the toddler bed. For the nursery we also purchased the round creature comfort rugs in brown and orange which are so soft and cute. We added the nickel floor base with an orange shade to the room as well as the splash of orange brightens up the room very nicely."

Simple, Classic, and High Quality
"I love the simple classic look of this crib. It was easy to put together and is obviously high quality. I loved that it was made in the USA (which was a key in my purchasing decision). It is easiest to have 2 people to change the mattress height but I would expect that for most cribs."
