Pros: Solid crib, good price
Cons: A little trouble getting it

I am not exactly sure which model I have, since we ordered it almost a year and a half ago (DD is 14 mos now). I was looking for a crib that converted to a full-size headboard somewhere down the line, had a one-hand drop-side, and had a drawer underneath. I narrowed it down to this one and one from Pali which was a harder wood but was much more expensive. Then I figured that this is kids furniture and it was probably going to get scuffed and scratched regardless of the wood, so I might as well get the pine Berg model. We also ordered the changing table/dresser and the matching hutch.

The whole set was very late to arrive at the store - the store said something about Berg moving and not answering calls. The changing table/dresser piece arrived damaged (apparently it was smashed in transit) and then it took another three weeks to get another one (we finally had everything about 3 days before my due date - that's cutting it close). I can't really blame the manufacturer, though, because the store manager would do absolutely nothing to move the process along - I thought the store should have at least asked the company to express ship the damaged piece.

Now that we have them, the pieces are wonderful. We just moved to a new house, and the crib disassembled and reassembled easily, and everything still looks great. The drawers slide easily - maybe a little too easily (you'd think that these companies could put child-proof locks on the drawers, since they are going in kids rooms). In all, I am very glad we didn't spend the extra money on the more expensive set - but I am glad we didn't get anything cheaper either - this is really great quality for the money.
