Our version of Baby Bargains did not rate this manufacturer as it was fairly new at the time our edition was published. We went out to our local baby store and tried out a bunch of cribs and dressers. We shook the cribs around, DH (6'0", 220lbs) hung on the dressers to see if they'd tip, opened and closed drawers etc., etc.We liked the look of the Berg crib, we got the Sydney Convertible Crib from their Mountain Collection. It did not have a drop side, which we like and thought was more sturdy and was a convertible which was a feature that was pretty important to me. It was easily put together and as sturdy as we wanted it to be.We also got the matching dresser/changing table combo with the available hutch. DH hung onto the top shelf of the hutch once we put it together and lifted his feet off the ground to test to see if the dresser would tip, it didn't even budge.These pieces are beautiful, they look great in our daughter's room. The changing table is convenient and now that DD is 2, we can take the changing pad off and put other stuff on the top of her dresser. The hutch holds a lot of her books and other baby knick knacks.We just converted the crib into the toddler bed and couldn't be happier with it.The pine is soft and does scratch. We have two Labs, one who loved to jump up and look at DD while she was lying on changing table and his nails have done a bit of damage to the fronts of the drawers. However, unless you were looking closely, you wouldn't even see the depressions in the wood as his nails did not scratch the wood in a way that changes the wood's color.We figured, for children's furniture, this was a good deal for what we paid, (about $1700 for all three pieces) and we knew that any furtniture we bought would take a beating.Very happy with this purchase.
