Storkcraft Sheffield Fixed Side Convertible Crib, Gray

Here is my review:GENERAL LOOK:- General construction, finish is very nice. There is some factory paint / finish smell, so I recommend opening the box or assemble the crib to leave it out of the package to air out. The paint smell aka VOC disappears in time, similar to when painting a room via latex paint, not as strong as using a oil base paint. But be sure to air the crib prior to having your new born sleep in it.-Gray is much darker than in pictures. Darker than a battle ship gray, more towards a dark gray color so be aware. It fit our overall baby room design so we're happy. Paint job is clean and very durable finish and should last with usual care and use.ASSEMBLY:- Instructions are clear and everything is labeled properly. Everything was packaged very well, arrived in under 2 days (We have Prime)- Many commented saying there was no labeling to each panel, but there actually are little round stickers at the ends with labels ex. A1, A2 or B1, B2. Just carefully look at the diagrams in the assembly manual, labels are given and just match the hole cut out and you can easily figure out the proper orientation.- Hardware is complete in a sealed package with an 4 mm Allen key tool. (similar to all these flat pack furniture kits) As a big FYI, I would recommend using a ball head metric 4 mm Allen key as well and you don't specifically need it but a Phillps #2 or a Slot head/ flat head screw driver would be nice to hold the female tension nut when assembly.MY GENERAL EXPERIENCE:- I assembled the crib in about 15 to 20 minutes and the parts are very easy for a one person assembly. Just take your time lay things out and if you have the above mentioned tools, this will make your life much easier.- Crib fits the standard mattress 52 x 28, and has 2 adjustment height points.- Slats are good distance apart so no fear of having the baby getting stuck, though anything can happen so its a matter of setting up safety based on your personal concerns. But I have no concerns for the safely of our new born baby, crib is very solid.- One thing to note: I can see how other people can easily snap the sidewalk bolts as the tension they provide in assembly can easily shear off the bolt heads. Therefore I first recommend assembling the crib just tight enough (not final assembly torque) that you have it all assembled and can make the necessary adjustments to square off the corners and get the hardware to align straight and into the countersunk holes. Dont tighten the hardware in a crooked angle, this will damage the wood, place a odd sheering load on the hardware bolts which can potentially snap due to being over tight. The key thing is to have the bolt head sit flush and flat in the countersunk holes.Once you have everything aligned then tighten all the bolts, corner to corner and keep in mind not to ruin your initial alignment. But DON'T over tighten the hardware. There is no need to over torque the hardware, just a good n tight some where in the 10 ft pounds of torque or tightening a tad bit stronger ex. when closing a bottle cap on a bottle of soda before you put on its side in your refrigerator, just a tad tighter than normal, but not gorilla tight, there is no need.FINAL CONCLUSION:Great price for a nice crib. I recommend it highly, just air out, take your time in assembly and don't over torque the hardware.Hope my review helps. Best wishes to your new born baby. Cheers!!

Ok so I have mixed feelings about this crib. I'll tell you the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of it - not necessarily in that order.The Ugly - the crib is quite a bit darker than the online pic. It's a deep rich dark brown cherry color. So if your looking to match a regular brown wood color, this isn't it. While putting the crib together, I noticed an area, like others have put in their reviews, a "fixed" area in the wood. It was corrected and nicely painted over by the manufacturer.The Bad - like many others I had a problem aligning the mattress support screw holes. I didn't want to force it but it was so close. So I read someone's post that said the sides are labeled "Inside". Yup, I had them switched. I unscrewed, turned them around and made sure all was as it was supposed to be. But again, close but not lining up. As I looked at the mattress support springs edge, I notice it was bent. It was somehow not squared off. This was a 2 person job. I stuck the Allen wrench through the holes and forced the alignment. My husband held it still so I could pull the wrench out and stick the screw in. It took a bit of finnageling but I finally got it. After that, it all worked well as designed.The Good - I can definitely say the workmanship of all of the wooden sides is done nice. It's a smooth finish. I was very surprised for the price. This is the major determinate with my star rating.But if you have the alignment issue, be very, very careful. It scratches very easily. You can mess up the finish with digs into the deep dark rich wood color.If I hadn't had such an annoying problem with the holes not lining up, it would have been 5 stars. It was such a pain to try taking the screws out of each side, retry taking out the other side, tilting the crib on its side, staring at it, taking it apart completely and starting over. It was really a pain - even knowing others had the same problem. I'm for sure not looking forward to lowering the mattress.

HiBefore i decided to buy this crib i made a lot of research and also read a ton of reviews. i saw that a lot of people were righting that the parts came not labeled and they had a difficult time to put it together. but on the other hand there were a lot of other reviews saying that it did come labeled and it was easy to build. so i went a head with it and i bought the crib. it arrived fast even though it got delayed.when i un-boxed all the parts and laid them out on the wall i saw i was in for a big surprise NONE OF THE PARTS HAD LABELS ON THEM NONE OF THEM DID . i took the instructions booklet and started trying to figure out what goes to what , it was really really frustrating a thing that could have taken me 20 minutes to build was gonna take me way longer, i was gonna put it back in the box and send it strait back to where it came from. but i am not a quitter , so i started putting the 2 sides together and when i came to connect the 3rd side i saw that it didn't make sense the holes were not aligning so i had to undo some screws and panels and had to change it around because i figured that what the instructions booklet was telling me to do was messed up and not correct, they had it all wrong. finally after an hour and a half the crib was done .over all it was messed up putting it togetherthe crib was filthy and dirty needed a good cleaningcolor is way darker then the pictures (they should use Mac's to Photoshop the pics)i give it 3 stars because i still like the crib but guys if your not handy and you have no patience to mess around and build and undo and rebuild then think twice before you get it, don't be like me thinking that you will be getting parts that are labeled cause that's what i did and i ended up not getting labeled parts.but i do gotta say that its still a very pretty crib and its bigger than what i expected so im happy and i hope my daughter will like it
