I love this crib. Adds elegance and class to the nursery. It matches well with the rest of the furniture in my home. VERY easy to assemble even at 9 months pregnant. NO scratching problems or marking of the wood. Standard size mattress is a tight fit, no extra space for baby to get fingers or toes, arms, legs caught. Baby bumpers for the crib set i bought don't really fit well as the end ties are too short to go around the thick legs, but that is not the crib's fault.
