I have a tiny nursery and this crib worked wonderfully. It was easy to assemble. The only con that I have it’s that it’s difficult to find bedding sets for itWe are very happy with this crib. After assembling, which took about an hour, it folded very easily. If on carpet, it does take strength to move it as the casters do not do much but that should be expected. The crib also unfolds and the base for the mattress goes down easily. It only takes 2-3 minutes to fold and 2-3 minutes to set up. The 1" mattress is not sufficient, so we did buy a separate 3" mattress. That is the only reason for giving this crib 4 stars rather than 5.We got the white wash color and it’s much more white than shown in the picture but I personally like that. They’re easy to assemble and can break down for storage easilyUPDATE:Used this until our little guy was about 8 months old in a variety of applications. We were moving so I'll say the collapsible crib idea was amazing for showings on our house, quickly goes away and then back together again. After the move we used it in our camper which became our home for 6 weeks in between houses. The best part of this thing is the portability. That said the size will eventually become an issue unlike a normal crib because babies get big quickly. There are 2 mattress heights, the lower is what is pictured, the higher is about bassinet height only useful for a couple months. As our little guy got bigger and more mobile it was harder for him to "fit" in the crib, especially when he'd get himself sideways. We'd end up with a leg stuck in the rails every so often which I solved by making a custom bumper. But these are issues you'll run into more with the mini cribs than a traditional sized crib. That being said it was a great option for us and I would do it over again. The crib stood up to all of the moving and we now use it in the same capacity as a pack n play.----------------------------------------------This is our 3rd child and 3rd crib, opted for a mini this time to fit in our master bedroom and liked the idea that this was collapsible so we could put it away or travel with it if we really wanted to. I originally searched for the previous model, the Babyletto Grayson, as it had come in the grey color we wanted but lo and behold it was discontinued everywhere. Apparently this is the "new" version and the dimensions have been shortened a tad? It fits a standard pack n play mattress which is good for sheets and finding accessories that are otherwise impossible or expensive to source. The grey color is great and quality seems to be par for most cribs out there. It is a coated finish so if you chip the exterior it would be noticeable but this is pretty common as far as baby cribs go, and it's not like we spent a fortune on it so I'm ok with that.Of note- it comes with a mattress, if you could call it that. It's a 1" pad as the description reads, so it's no more substantial than an actual pack n play and in my opinion not great for really intending on using it for a permanent bedspace. But you can find larger 3" mattresses anywhere from $25 and up that would work better. Overall, not a deal breaker and cheaper than any of the alternatives you find out there.Had initially compared it with the Bloom Alma Mini and Alma Papa, the prices of those were discouraging as well as their lack of standard sizing (ie. sheets, bedding, etc) and I didn't like the collapsing bracket mounting on the front portion of the crib, I liked that the Origami hardware is mounted on the shorter sides so it's a prettier view from the front.Assembly- hubbs is a contractor so he builds things regularly, this was simple to assemble but did end up taking him about an hour, for what that's worth.So far very happy with the purchase as compared to our other cribs in the past. We have had the Babyletto Modo for 3 years and it's still going strong, as I'm sure this one will be. We'll see how it fares when the wee one is here but I don't anticipate any issues.The crib arrived quickly, was easy to assemble, is very nice looking, and is of high quality. I love that it is on wheels. The only NEGATIVE is that the "mattress" it comes with is a joke; I would not even let my dog sleep on that thin, plastic thing. Be sure to order a breathable mini mattress, and sheets when ordering this bed, then it is perfection.Our 7 month old daughter is still sleeping in our room, but starting to transition to the big crib in our daughter's room. As you can imagine, it is a slow process getting a 7 month old and 3 year old to peacefully share a room!About 2 months ago, our 7 month old started sleeping fitfully in the Pack and Play after we lowered it to the lowest position. After actually feeling the sleeping pad on the Pack and Play- I could see why! It was so lumpy and uncomfortable... I felt a pang of guilt for not noticing before! We decided to bite the bullet and invest in a quality mini crib- and it was the right decision.Pros:Absolutely beautiful construction: This crib looks high end and feels high end. Despite being collapsible, it feels sturdy and solidCompact: it is the same size as a Pack and PlayVerstatile: we didnt get this crib in time to use the higher mattress position, but it does have two positionsHeirloom quality: this crib is going to my sister next, then probably a friend or cousin. It is top notch. It has a modern look about it too, which I appreciateSleep: the night we put baby on this real mattress (vs Pack and Play) she slept 6 hours straight. No joke. (vs 2 hours in the Pack and Play). Bottom line- Pack and Play is good in the basinette position, and for occasional use, but wasn't a good long term solution for us.Cons:Mattress: to call the mattress that comes with the Babyletto Mini crib flimsy is an understatement. Deducting one star for this. It is completely unusable. Luckily I had ordered the mattress too- it is really a must. https://www.amazon.com/Babyletto-Non-Toxic-Mattress-Hybrid-Waterproof/dp/B00HAZS67W/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1519410407&sr=8-4&keywords=babyletto+mini+crib+mattressSheets: I am all about jersey sheets for cribs. They are soft and fit snugly. Babyletto didn't offer any, but I rolled the dice and bought these sheets that fit perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0741CN9CD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. See picI have told a few friends about the mini crib idea. Apparently they are just not very popular right now, but I don't understand why. The APA recommends keeping baby in the parent's room for 1 year (not sure how realistic that is, but still)- and lots of parents rooms don't have space for a full sized crib. We also live in a large city and we, like most city houses, are tight on space. I am betting on mini cribs making a big comeback and I would highly recommend the Babyletto if you are going the mini crib route. I did my research and am very happy with the decision. I think you would be too.We are sharing a room with our baby, in a small apartment and this crib is perfect. It's big enough, that baby can grow and we can probably use it for a couple of years before he outgrows it. The natural wood is sturdy and not cheap feeling at all. The wheels are KEY, moving it between rooms and to clean. We bought the babyletto organic mattress which is much thicker than the thin mattress included. It folds up nicely for storage as well so we can hopefully resuse for another baby.This crib is so cute, I love it more than I thought I would. I can’t say for the painted ones but the natural wood looks very modern and clean. I live in a one bedroom and have a little space at the end of my bed that it fits. Make sure to measure first if your in a tight space. I was going to go with a bassinet but this is much better because baby can grow with it, and it wheels in and out of the room through the door way no problem! So we can move it between bedroom and living room if we wanted. Takes the place of a bassinet and playpen as well with a way better look. It folds up nicely too if you need to take it anywhere. Comes with a mat that you could probably use as a mattress, I’m going to get another thin foam though for extra comfort. I was originally going to get a thick 5” mattress but after seeing it in person I think that would be too much.Great minicrib. Baby has been sleeping in it since day 1. We live in a condo and I was looking for a crib that will fit in a small bedroom. This one has the perfect size and looks very stylish. Love that I can easily move it from one room to another. Quality is good, easy to assemble. Like others mentionned, there is a bit of a smell that will last for a few days. I also bought the 'dream on me' 5 inches mattress. It fits perfectly. The one that comes with the crib is extremely thin so I would not use it.Love this crib. Easy to assemble. Had a bit of trouble with the blue Lock-tite on the screws... it interferes with ease of screws sometimes. But I ended up scraping it off and it worked.This is a nice solid crib. Happy with purchase. Love that it has wheels that can be locked. Paired with Babyletto mini crib mattress - perfect. plus the Babyletto fitted mini crib sheet. All sold separately. Wish they came as a set.Likely my own fault for not analyzing the dimensions, but this crib was not as mini as I was expecting. I was looking for something portable to use on main floor and 2nd level of 2 storey home. Crib is heavy, not quite as portable as I thought it would be. The wheels are great for portability on 1 level. Seems like it's designed for a small space like a condo, etc. Slightly difficult to put together because of the hinges on each side. At least need 2 ppl for assembly. Very solid when put together and looks great! Very pleased with this crib even though it was not what I had in mind. Would recommend. Thanks again Amazon.ca!
