Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was on the fence about spending $600 on a solid crib or this one.I finally decided on this one because as it turned out, the expensive Sorelle also used cam-locks on most of their cribs.So that was the deal breaker.The Kalani is sturdy despite the few cam-locks.Grandpa had no problem with the assembly and finished within an hour.This is for my 3rd child as I converted the old one already.Features that were hard to find in one crib but offered in this one:
1. rich cherry finish that complements other cherry furniture in the baby's room.
2. heavy and sturdy
3. 4 height settings.Perfect for a shorty like me to easily set down a sleepy baby.most cribs only offer 3 settings that are either too far apart or does not make much of a difference.
4.mattress springs.i don't like slats or MDF panel to support my bouncing baby boy.slats are a pain to adjust and MDP could slip and slide around.
5. toddler rail is included, which saves a hundred bucks.
6. converts to a head and footboard sleigh bed.
Cons:
Nothing for the crib.But I would not spend $$ on the furniture accessories from DaVinci.$400 bucks for baby size dressers?MDF and cheaply made?I would recommend going to a furniture store and purchase a real dresser for less or at least comparable that will outlast the crib stage.I have Broyhill dresser, chest, and nightstand for his room that matches the crib and I know will last after he's done with the crib (off to college and converted back to a guest room).
Another recommendation:
corner changing table in cherry.I don't recall the brand but the color match is great and can be used as a credenza once potty trained.fits nicely in a corner, does not take up much space.I don't like the DaVinci changing table as it looks silly to use it as anything else with that immovable side rail.
Crib bumper: PBkids- super thick and 'cushiony' or RHbabyandchild- cover removes for easy washing.
I'll post a photo once all the decor is up.So, good luck and congrats on the new baby!
