We purchased it in Ebony--- very nice black color!
This is one item I wish we waited to purchase. We purchased a Storkcraft (chelsea) crib before our child was born. He was in that crib for a few months. There was a recall on the drop-down slide of the crib. We returned the crib, thankfully target took it back. We bought this crib instead. Our child is now 6 months old and I feel much safer putting him in this crib versus a storkcraft crib. First and foremost, million dollar baby company has NEVER had a recall on cribs. Secondly, all parts are metal (storkcraft had a few parts that were made out of wood that were questionable how well they would hold up). This crib HAS a box spring! There are NO wooden slates like the storkcraft Chelsea crib we owned. My child feels more comforable in this crib--we are using the same mattress. For the past three months my child has been rolling over. In this crib for some reason it seems to have more space. He seems to NOT have his arms/legs stuck in this crib as much as the storkcraft even though he is more mobile now. Overall, I would NOT trust any drop down slide after reading about the recalls on them with storkcraft. This product is perfect and sturdy and does take a while for my husband and I to put together. The storkcraft was much easier to put together. But this crib seems to have been made and shipped a lot nicer! The finish seems to hold up much better as well. Overall, I wish I bought this crib to begin with. We love the fact that as our child gets older, we can move the box spring down 4 times versus only two times with strokcraft crib. Really the drawer doesn't bother me to much. I am just happy he is in safer crib. Also, I would not suggest a pregnant person putting this together with or without a spouse. It is very HEAVY!!
UPDATE-- My child has been in the toddler bed now (which came with the crib no extras to buy) -- My child still loves this crib even at 14 months when we first put him in the toddler bed. We had to convert it early because he loved climbing out of the crib. He has been adjusting very well and has not fallen out of the bed with the little rails for the toddler conversation. I am very happy and pleased with this crib/toddler bed. A lot of my friends love the fact that once my child feels like being in a day bed just take the rail off and it's done. I would still till this day purchase this crib. I am very pleased with this product (side note -- and my child has slept on the sealy mattress from day one out of the hospital all the way for 17 months now.) Great product!
