When I saw this item online, I thought it looked solid and beautifully crafted. I know however that things don’t always look as good when you receive them. The DaVinci Parker Crib exceeded my expectations. Not only is the color great, but it is as stable as I thought it would be. 
My husband put it together in about 3 hours, and had no problem. We love that the side is curved so I can get my 9 month old son out easily. I am 7 months pregnant and was concerned that because the side does not go down, that I would have a problem reaching him. I have not had this problem. Also, the mattress will still go down two more levels for when he begins to pull himself up.
I was very impressed with the versatility of the DaVinci Parker Crib. For well under $300 we now have a crib that converts to a toddler bed that can also be converted to a larger bed later on when our child outgrows the toddler bed. The toddler bed rails are included with the crib but the rails for the larger sized bed need to be ordered separately. I am unaware of the cost of those rails but having the option to purchase them is nice. I am very happy that it looks like I will not have to purchase another bed of any sort for the foreseeable future.
- It’s sturdy and strong without seeming massive or heavy.
- It’s attractive, natural pine and has graceful curves.
- Included toddler rail is terrific and extends the life of the crib.
- Included trundle drawer is nice bonus.
- You can order parts to convert to a full-sized bed, further extending the life of the crib.
- All-wood/metal construction.
The only thing people should know, is that THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ATTACHED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SPRINGS. We thought the instructions were left out as there was a piece of cardboard attached to the springs, and could not see the instructions. This item sat in the box for days while we tried to get a response from the manufacturer as to receiving a copy of the instructions. I wish someone had informed us of the location prior to our issue.
Anyway you will be pleased with the DaVinci Parker Crib . It is worth the price tag. Plus with Amazon’s free shipping you cannot find this great crib any cheaper. (Shipping was fast! We ordered on 4/11 and it arrived 4/19)
Best of Luck & Warmest Wishes to your little one.
