Pros:
Beautiful pine wood and not that pricey.
Cons:
Soft wood can be damaged easily- be gentle with it.

I based my decision to buy the Berg crib based on the design and value. The Forest sleigh crib was on sale for $400 (including tax) at my local designer baby boutique (I hate BRU). I also bought the combo dresser for about $460 using a coupon. I wanted a drop-side sleigh-style crib in a honey oak tone for a more country-style nursery. There isn't a lot out there fitting this design, but i found another one made by legacy that was about $100 more for the crib and $150 for the dresser. Also, Berg includes the under-crib drawer for free, whereas other companies charge extra for this. Other review on the BB website cited concerns about the soft pine wood being scratched up on the floor models. I think most cribs take some beating from kids but i would suggest you be very careful when assembling the crib. One of our crib sides was damaged when we opened the box. It had some glue residue on it that i couldn't get off. Also one of the dresser drawers doesn't glide perfectly smoothly. I took back the crib side and luckily they had another crib in stock and just swiched out the piece. Also the store gave me a white drawer (comes in a separate box), which i had to take back and exchange. Although I wouldn't suggest unpacking the entire crib until you get home, at least take a peek inside to make sure the color is right and there's no apparent damage or color mistake. The assembly directions were super easy. They include photos and extra nuts and bolts. It does take two people. We have already disassembled it once and that wasn't that hard. Oh, and there was also a cute card thanking us for our purchase. A nice gesture. I would highly recommend this crib.
