Dream On Me Aden 4-in-1 Convertible Mini Baby Crib in Natural, GreenGuard Gold & BSA, Sustainable Pinewood, Non-Toxic Finish, 3 Mattress Heights, Converts to Mini Day & Twin-Size Bed

Just purchased and put together this crib for our upcoming baby, so I'm not able to review its longevity. I'm all about the rest of it, though! This crib is lovely! I purchased it in white to match my current antique bedframe and dresser that I refinished in an arctic white enamel. It's a perfect match, and even goes well with the rest of the bedroom furniture stylistically. I put this crib together alone, at 6mo pregnant, in a space only about a foot larger than the completed crib. It took about an hour, and went together easily with the included allen wrench and a pair of pliers. I purchased the Dream On Me 2 in 1 3" thick mini crib/playyard mattress to go with the crib. It fits PERFECTLY - I actually have to push down on it to get it into place. I think that the biggest complaints about the mattresses not fitting are probably due to issues in construction. When you're putting the metal brackets on the wooden mattress platform, don't tighten them completely down until you have the mattress support in place and the front panel on the crib; then square everything up and tighten all of the bolts on all of the parts at once. This may also have caused the complaints from some people saying that they had to drill additional holes - I didn't have one of the legs quite loose enough when I initially went to put the front panel on, and it looked like it wasn't going to line up correctly with the pre-drilled hole. Once I loosened things up a bit more, though, I was able to get everything threaded correctly, then tighten everything without issues. It was definitely difficult to tighten the bolts on the wall facing side of the back legs once the whole crib was put together when I was trying to wiggle my pregnant bump between the crib and the wall, but I managed! And this way I have a crib that fits together perfectly, fits the mattress snugly, and is incredibly sturdy. My only real complaint would be that I lost hold of the mattress support board at one point while trying to balance it in to attach it, and the metal supports rubbed against the insides of the legs, leaving scratches because the wood/finish is very soft. This would have been avoided if I'd had help in putting it together (but I was too impatient to wait for my partner to get home from work!), but it definitely let me know that I'm going to want to protect the top rails somehow once this little girl starts pulling up and teething, because little teeth will definitely do a number on the softer wood. ***** Update: We've been using this crib for four months now, and I'm still every bit as pleased! We moved the week before the baby was born, so thur crib had to be taken mostly apart and put back together at the new place, but this gave me an option to tighten everything again before putting a baby in it. She sleeps super comfortably each night, and it's still sturdy and solid after 4 months of use! My girl is above the 90th for height, but still has plenty of room to grow. So: super cute crib, perfect for limited space, and still fantastic after months of use!

I love this crib. It is compact, very stylish and sturdy so far. The assembly instructions are printed literally ON THE BED (the bottom of the bed) so you won’t misplace them. I did put some of the wooden pegs in the wrong spot and didn’t realize until the end, so I had to take it apart and start over, so it might be best to have a second set of hands and eyes if you are challenged with assembling things. I would definitely purchase the exact same thing all over again. Purchase a thicker mattress; the included one is quite thin but would work short term.

I'm 6 months pregnant and not particularly handy at building things, or following instruction manuals. However, I received this crib yesterday and was able to assemble it myself in about an hour and a half. Mind you I got the side panels switched and flipped and would have been done much sooner if I had realized this before it was almost completely assembled. My bad no fault of the instructions. Assembled, the crib is very sturdy ( I leaned on it, shook it, tried to rattle it loose) as long as you tighten everything down its a very solid crib. I liked that it wasn't hard to disassemble either ( to fix my mistake and for moving it our of our RV at a later date without ruining it) I ran into some confusion with the bolts. There are three sizes and the instructions call them all the same thing. ( which they are, just different lengths) slightly confusing but easy to figure out. The shortest ones go to holding up the spring mattress support. Middle ones go to the top front and back rails, and the long go everywhere else. There are three height settings for the mattress support, but they are all much lower ( I feel) than that top one you see in the picture. However I'm of average height (5'5") and the highest setting is more than plenty high, without having to bend over much, for a newborn. All in all this crib has a very beautiful, sturdy, simple design. I was looking at buying a 5.5" davinci 50 coil mattress for it, but decided to go with the dream on me 3" as I felt it would fit better. I'm glad I didn't get the thick one. The instructions as well as the outside of the box in big letters both say not to use thicker than a 2" mattress. I can't see why, but I hadn't heard that or read it before I bought the product. I would have liked to take it into consideration. PS yea this crib comes with a thin, maybe 1" mattress pad, this is not a mattress. It just goes between your mattress and the spring mattress support to protect whatever mattress you decide to buy. On another note I was impressed with the wood used. I expected it to ding and dent easily as it is soft pine wood. I assembled the product myself on a tile floor and several times (during my tear down/rebuild session) found myself bracing pieces up with my knees and toes and both hands etc. trying to just move or replace one section at a time. Usually resulting in it all caving in and clattering on the floor. No damage to the wood however which surprised me! Again this was of no fault to the product or instructions. I was just frustrated when I got the sides flipped and backward and was trying to cut corners after that. All in all this is a great crib! If I can assemble it, I feel like anyone can! It's beautiful (I went with the natural wood) and safe! I would definitely recommend it to friends. Especially for the price! Can't beat that! PS I did days of research on mini crib bedding. True, it's hard to find. I ended up buying from carousel designs website. They have a clearance or discontinued section with great prices on bedding sets for mini and standard cribs. I just kept checking back until I found one on sale that I loved.

El producto llegó antes de lo esperado y completo La armé yo con ayuda de mi hijo de 5 años, no es complicada solo seguir instrucciones, se siente resistente.

Es una hermosa cuna la verdad, fácil de armar y se ve muy bonita en la habitación, es recomendable comprar el colchon dream on me 3 portable crib mattress, porque aunque viene con un colchoncito este es muy delgado y de hule espuma, la recomiendo.

Un producto muy bonito y bien echo, facil de armar y del tamaño perfecto para un nuevo bebe. Un bonito color

Very nice option for small places, also the build is very solid and feels very secure, we are very happy with this purchase, thanks!!

Súper compra! Llego en tiempo y forma, fácil de instalar, y excelente calidad! Mi bebé duerme como ángel en la cuna!
