The Bottom Line:
This is possibly the best crib out there. But, I still wish they were easier to lift the main rail and still maintain the safety feature.
For a piece of furniture that you will basically not use longer than two years, I had a big debate over which crib to buy. I did alot of research, but quite frankly, there's not much information about cribs other than their dimensions. On one end, I could've gotten a crib from K'mart for $120. I've used this crib before and thought it looked very nice - at first. All new things look nice at first!
I settled on the Angel Line crib and although it cost an extra hundred fifty dollars ($150 is a big investment for me), I must say it is a beautiful piece of furniture that is very sturdy. You're not paying extra for nothing. For one thing, the clear coating on it is very thick and it would take an incredibly lot for something to scratch the surface. This crib can undoubtedly be re-used after my baby has outgrown it and still look new.
I have nothing bad to say about this crib, in fact, I should make note of the following:
1. The crib guard on the top rail is thick enough and stays in place.
2. The rails are so sturdy that they don't move or shake when grabbed.
3. I've placed it in a carpeted room, and I can still roll it if needed, but it doesn't roll unnecessarily either.
4. I have no problem attaching the mobile or anything else to the sides, and in fact, I don't have to worry about scratching the crib because the coat is so thick as I mentioned above. With the $120 cribs, sometimes you really do have to worry about tightening a knob too tight when installing a mobile or other crib toy on the rails.
5. Like all new cribs with the latest safety requirements, the rails aren't too far apart, which is an apparent safety hazard in older cribs.
Con:
For the price, I think I was hoping that the lever to lift and lower the main crib side would go swwwwiish like an automatic door at the grocery store, lol. Well, it's definitely safety proofed. My ten year old relative is clumbsy about lowering it, but can do it. So, that shows me it's not easy for just any older kid to walk up to the crib and unsafely lower the rail without having practiced it first. So, in conclusion, this crib is complete with every single safety factor, but I still wish they made them easier to raise and lower the main rail. The rail on this crib works opens as easily as any new crib rail I've seen, though.
CONCLUSION
Cribs and carseats are the two items you need to buy new. A ten year old crib is a terrible idea, as they are much safer these days. This crib is worth the investment of the extra $100 to $150 dollars over the other cribs. If you can afford it, I recommend this crib or any of the high-end (in other words: "expensive") Angel Line cribs.
Sometimes I regret that I paid so much for a crib that is hardly used (baby spends more time in the bassinette or my bed), but this is the best of the cribs and is a beautiful piece of furniture.
