Side by Side Comparison of: Stork Craft vs Dream On Me

Really pretty crib. Colour is much nicer than the pictures show. We really wanted a crib that looks very simple, so that I can move it from one room to another and it would go with the surrounding and we got exactly what we wanted. It looks really simple and it is very easy to blend it into any room you want. It was really easy to assemble, it took my husband less than an hour to put it together with two kids continuously interfering him. The crib is solid wood and really sturdy, it has no wobbling what so ever. I'm really excited of the idea that you can also take one side off and start to train your child for toddler bed. My oldest went straight from closed crib to toddler bed and it was a bit hard for him to get used to it. So I hope this will help my youngest one to kind of get an idea of normal bed. We haven't tried all the configurations yet, but for now we are super happy with it.This bed is a really good quality for a really good price.

Absolutely LOVE this crib! It's super sturdy, has a great finish, and was a great price! I can definitely see what some reviewers meant by confusing directions/difficult packaging for the hardware. I think for the price it's an excellent purchase, however. I didn't see what some other reviewers were saying about holes drilled in the incorrect places - ours were perfect. I'm not entirely sure if it is a problem they have since fixed or what. But ours were great. It took my husband around twenty minutes to put together. This crib sits fairly low when on the bottom position for older babies, and I would say it's around 10" from the ground. This means any dust ruffle you get should be VERY "short". Speaking of short - as other reviewers have mentioned, it could be a real pain if your baby is not standing up yet, as you really have to practically climb into it if you are a shorter person, to reach down to baby! But for the price, I still give it five stars. It is so much value for your dollar imo! <3 Also - The Trend Lab Fleece CribWrap Rail Covers for Crib Sides (Set of 2), White, Narrow for Crib Rails Measuring up to 8" Around! and Trend Lab Fleece CribWrap Rail Cover for Long Rail, White, Narrow for Crib Rails Measuring up to 8" Around! are excellent purchases to make this item last even longer. They fit great and should really enhance the longevity of this product, especially if you plan to use with more than one child.

For the price, you can't beat this crib. We got it in gray and the color is extremely close to the images displayed on the Amazon listing - which is exactly what we were looking for. We did have to backtrack once when we initially assembled the crib, but it wasn't too bad and I think it was more user-error than the instructions. (We moved several months after having baby and it was really easy to disassemble and reassemble at the new house). Others have mentioned that the parts were not labeled and that the crib had a chemical/new paint smell, but our pieces were all labeled and I don't recall there ever being a chemical smell.The crib is very sturdy, standard crib mattress fits perfectly and while baby currently only naps in the crib, it has worked very well. I had a c-section and am fairly short (only 5'3"), but with the mattress at the highest level was able to get baby in and out of the crib with ease after about 2 weeks.This crib looks nice, is sturdy, fairly easy to assemble, and affordable. You can't ask for much more!

Here is my review:GENERAL LOOK:- General construction, finish is very nice. There is some factory paint / finish smell, so I recommend opening the box or assemble the crib to leave it out of the package to air out. The paint smell aka VOC disappears in time, similar to when painting a room via latex paint, not as strong as using a oil base paint. But be sure to air the crib prior to having your new born sleep in it.-Gray is much darker than in pictures. Darker than a battle ship gray, more towards a dark gray color so be aware. It fit our overall baby room design so we're happy. Paint job is clean and very durable finish and should last with usual care and use.ASSEMBLY:- Instructions are clear and everything is labeled properly. Everything was packaged very well, arrived in under 2 days (We have Prime)- Many commented saying there was no labeling to each panel, but there actually are little round stickers at the ends with labels ex. A1, A2 or B1, B2. Just carefully look at the diagrams in the assembly manual, labels are given and just match the hole cut out and you can easily figure out the proper orientation.- Hardware is complete in a sealed package with an 4 mm Allen key tool. (similar to all these flat pack furniture kits) As a big FYI, I would recommend using a ball head metric 4 mm Allen key as well and you don't specifically need it but a Phillps #2 or a Slot head/ flat head screw driver would be nice to hold the female tension nut when assembly.MY GENERAL EXPERIENCE:- I assembled the crib in about 15 to 20 minutes and the parts are very easy for a one person assembly. Just take your time lay things out and if you have the above mentioned tools, this will make your life much easier.- Crib fits the standard mattress 52 x 28, and has 2 adjustment height points.- Slats are good distance apart so no fear of having the baby getting stuck, though anything can happen so its a matter of setting up safety based on your personal concerns. But I have no concerns for the safely of our new born baby, crib is very solid.- One thing to note: I can see how other people can easily snap the sidewalk bolts as the tension they provide in assembly can easily shear off the bolt heads. Therefore I first recommend assembling the crib just tight enough (not final assembly torque) that you have it all assembled and can make the necessary adjustments to square off the corners and get the hardware to align straight and into the countersunk holes. Dont tighten the hardware in a crooked angle, this will damage the wood, place a odd sheering load on the hardware bolts which can potentially snap due to being over tight. The key thing is to have the bolt head sit flush and flat in the countersunk holes.Once you have everything aligned then tighten all the bolts, corner to corner and keep in mind not to ruin your initial alignment. But DON'T over tighten the hardware. There is no need to over torque the hardware, just a good n tight some where in the 10 ft pounds of torque or tightening a tad bit stronger ex. when closing a bottle cap on a bottle of soda before you put on its side in your refrigerator, just a tad tighter than normal, but not gorilla tight, there is no need.FINAL CONCLUSION:Great price for a nice crib. I recommend it highly, just air out, take your time in assembly and don't over torque the hardware.Hope my review helps. Best wishes to your new born baby. Cheers!!

I think for the price, its great. It's exactly what is was wanting and needed. It's simple and modern. It seems durable and sturdy. I'm not afraid to put my baby in it. Easy to put together, just make sure you follow the directions.

This color of this crib is beautiful! Our baby is due in December so we haven't tried it out yet, but it was very easy to put together and is sturdy. The only negative is it has a strong paint odor, so I recommend putting it together a few months before you need it so it can air out. Other than that, it's a great crib for a great price.

I love this crib. It is for my grand daughter. It looks nice. Love the curved rails...just a bit different. Seems sturdy. We did have some challenges putting it together...so be patient and think logically no matter what the instructions say :)

The instructions were a little bit wonky. The pictures made it look like the crib rails mirrored each other (both higher on one end and lower on the other); however when you put it together it does build like the photo where the crib rail height are opposite of each-other. It's very light weight, perfect for an infant but I wondered if my older toddler might be able to do some damage just by pulling on the rails. For the price it's what I expected, looks great.

Our baby likes it. Was easy to install and quality seems to be of a good one. I was able to put together in about 2 hours all by myself. Its small and when our baby didnt want to sleep by herself we decided to open one of its side and use it as bedside crib. It works well in that too. My only recommendation is to buy a good antiskid for its legs. They do tend to move easily if baby inside moves a lot or change their sides often.

I love it, it's beautiful and well made. I watched my husband put it together because one review said that it was put together by their blood sweat and tears, but he had no problems. One thing he did mention was that they did not show in the instructions to snap on the top decorative rail for the end panels. You will need to do this before you attach the side pieces to the end panels. Otherwise, it was a snap and took about 20 minutes.

First of all, this crib was very well packaged while still very compact. Lots of foam and cushioning materials. I didn't find a single scratch! The instructions were easy to find and attached to one of the headboards. I think what I liked most about this was that the tools required for assembly were all prepackaged and clearly labeled. The instructions were very easy to understand, but you have to rely on pictures to know where each screw/bolt must go. And this leads me to my only complaint. For instructions that rely so heavily on the picture (at least for me,) they made an error, showing that the wave on the sides of the crib were on the same side of the crib, instead of alternating. This threw me off and I ended up assembling the whole thing without it being completely flush, then had to reassemble based on online pictures. Other than that, the instructions were very simple and easy to understand. This crib is VERY heavy and I recommend assembling it with 2 people. I'm 31 weeks pregnant however, so this was a little harder for me. There are no extra pieces so make sure not to lose any! Once assembled, this product is VERY sturdy and I love that the mattress level can be adjusted to so many different heights. It's a bit of a hassle though, so make sure when you put it together that it's the height you want it. This crib is absolutely gorgeous, sturdy, and of exceptional quality for the price. Definitely recommend!

Very easy to assemble if you follow the instructions. Just make sure when you are putting the sides on, you get the right one. I had to take it apart because I grabbed the wrong side and couldn't get it to go together correctly. The wavy side makes it really easy for me to put down and pick up my son...I'm on the short side, 5'3". Once together it is very sturdy, but not incredibly heavy. I can slide it away from the wall easily if I need to.

Was very easy to put together and I am not very savvy on building furniture. Took about an hour and a half. It's nice and light. I love how sturdy it is though. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that it did come with a couple minor nicks. Nothing to serious though and easily concealed with a wood marker. I had to give it a couple days to air out as well, it smelled like brand new furniture should, and I don't think the smell would have affected the baby but just to be on the safe side. Great buy.

I would give 5 stars but this crib was so darn hard to put together!!! The instructions did not make sense.. Thank goodness for YouTube but even after that, it was still complicated because the stuff was so hard to screw in!!! It's a very nice crib but I never want to put one together ever again or even take it apart.

Came well packaged with all necessary parts, easy instructions - took about 40 min and two of us to put together. Overall, the finish is as expected and size as stated. I will say it feels less sturdy than the mini-crib we replaced it with (i.e. a little wobbly when I grab the rails and shake as our toddler would). If you have a strong/forceful/slightly abusive toddler, I would not recommend this particular model. However, it has been standing without any issues for the past 4 months.

For the price it's nice. But, it's pretty basic so just know that. It's pretty light weight so if you're baby's room is on hardwood floors like ours, be prepared to invest in a decent rug. Also, the lowest setting the crib can go does not go that low so we'll have to figure something out once baby gets to the age where he can starts pulling himself up. Otherwise, we love the slate gray--goes perfect with our yellow room.

Beautiful crib, loved the color ! It is everything I wanted. Arrived on time, It was easy to put together, the parts don't have the stickers with the letters so you just have to pay extra attention to that. I'm really happy !

I love this crib. It is beautiful and modern. I am only giving it 4 stars because it came slightly damaged.

this crib is sturdy, and of good quality. None of the wood came damaged and it was relatively easy to put together. Besides that it is safe and beautiful, the best of both worlds!

The only reason I didn't give this crib 5 stars is because our baby isn't here yet so I can't fully rate it on how well it hold up to a baby in it. But overall this crib feels sturdy and is absolutely gorgeous. I get so many compliments on this crib when people check out the baby room. It was super simple to put together, plenty of weight to it, great structure. I really have nothing negative to say about it, it even came 4 days early! Can't wait for our baby to be here and see it in full action!

Beautiful Crib. This crib came in perfect condition. It had all the tools and went together easily. The price was very economical, so I was skeptical, but I would highly recommend it. It will also turn into a toddler bed. You will need to order a part for that. SAVE the tools.

Perfect for the nursery at this Grammy's house! All the parts came with our purchase. This is a very lightweight crib and small crib that can easily be moved to another room if desired, without having to take it apart The reason for four stars is that with the curved sides, the first level is perfect for a newborn , however, the next level drops the mattress so low that I can barely reach the mattress. I would love to see an additional level for the mattress.

This a great looking, sturdy crib and I like that I will be able to convert it to daybed, toddler bed and possible twin or full size with additional parts. The shipping box was very well packed so there was no damage to the parts. It was easy to put together. I chose the cherry finish and the color is exactly what I expected. I spent about an hour and a half by myself assembling it. I am using it for my 18 month old grandchild so I need to have the mattress level on the lowest setting due to the curvature of the side rails. There is a concern that the bars are spaced so that her knees can get wedged in between the bars when she is frolicking inside of the crib, although I think this is a concern with any crib. This has happened a few times so I tend to be aware when she waking from sleep in the unit. Other than that, I am happy with this purchase.

Beautiful crib, and for the price it can't be beat, BUT word of advice, WD-40 !!! A necessity when building this crib. There are soooo many stickers that are very difficult to remove. WD-40, let it set on the stickers for a min the use a credit card to remove all the stick.

HiBefore i decided to buy this crib i made a lot of research and also read a ton of reviews. i saw that a lot of people were righting that the parts came not labeled and they had a difficult time to put it together. but on the other hand there were a lot of other reviews saying that it did come labeled and it was easy to build. so i went a head with it and i bought the crib. it arrived fast even though it got delayed.when i un-boxed all the parts and laid them out on the wall i saw i was in for a big surprise NONE OF THE PARTS HAD LABELS ON THEM NONE OF THEM DID . i took the instructions booklet and started trying to figure out what goes to what , it was really really frustrating a thing that could have taken me 20 minutes to build was gonna take me way longer, i was gonna put it back in the box and send it strait back to where it came from. but i am not a quitter , so i started putting the 2 sides together and when i came to connect the 3rd side i saw that it didn't make sense the holes were not aligning so i had to undo some screws and panels and had to change it around because i figured that what the instructions booklet was telling me to do was messed up and not correct, they had it all wrong. finally after an hour and a half the crib was done .over all it was messed up putting it togetherthe crib was filthy and dirty needed a good cleaningcolor is way darker then the pictures (they should use Mac's to Photoshop the pics)i give it 3 stars because i still like the crib but guys if your not handy and you have no patience to mess around and build and undo and rebuild then think twice before you get it, don't be like me thinking that you will be getting parts that are labeled cause that's what i did and i ended up not getting labeled parts.but i do gotta say that its still a very pretty crib and its bigger than what i expected so im happy and i hope my daughter will like it

Directions were vague and hard to follow, especially since the pieces weren't labeled. The crib is nice, but there were some deep scratches in the wood (they were painted over). For the price, not terrible.

It is sturdy and it looks good for a $100 crib. I'm not giving it a higher rating because while we were assembling it, we discovered that some of the holes were not drilled in the correct positions. If you don't mind the extra hassle and have a drill, it's not too hard to drill your own holes and put it together.

The holes were way off. If you're not handy with a drill do not order. It also took over 2 weeks to be delivered, that's with Prime.

It's cheap...but you get what you pay for. Hard to follow directions. My husband had to drill addition holes because the predrilled holes did not match up. If you're not handy don't buy it. I would not have been able to put this together alone.

The other reviews that mentioned the problem with assembly were spot on--there's no markings to indicate what posts belong to which part of the crib--so after assembling it incorrectly I spent 30+ more minutes taking it apart and replacing it correctly.One (only one) of the bolts and nuts that were provided were incorrect--I contacted Storkcraft and 10 days later I had the correct piece free of charge. The mattress (a standard crib mattress 52x28) fits perfectly. The springs which hold the crib up are attached funny and have a metal part that kind of protrudes and seems like kids can stick their fingers down and get to them--not sure if this is going to be an issue. It is hard to explain this portion without being able to upload a picture. The baby is coming in a week or two so I will have to ammend this review if it becomes an issue.This is a full sized crib. Once you assemble it--be prepared to have to take it apart if you need to move rooms/get rid of it/sell it/etc. If you need to do this, I'd recommend putting letters on the bottom of the posts yourself or reassembly will be a bear again.Pros:1.Good customer service--they sent me the missing/incorrect part and were fairly easy to get on the telephone. They were very nice.2. For as low-priced as this crib is, it looks as nice as many of the $300-$500 range cribs3. It seems to be extremely sturdy, not shaky at all.4. Assembly with an allen wrench and provided nuts/bolts. No advanced hardware neededCons:1. There is only two size adjustable heights. This may be a problem if I have a c-section. I am 5'4'' and reaching down to the highest level is a challenge for me. My mother in law (who is 5'0'') stands no chance of being able to get the baby in and out without a stool.2. The problems with assembly (see above)--you have a 25% chance of actually getting this thing put together correctly on the first try as the crib pieces are not numbered/lettered and the instructions aren't entirely clear. It's not impossible, just frustrating.

I definitely knew when I was paying $100 for a crib that it wouldn't be the best quality. I also know that I've never used convertible cribs for anything other than the crib so I wasn't concerned about this crib lasting my child years. That said, the crib was already chipped and missing paint when I opened the packaging. If you plan on purchasing a crib that will convert and last a long time, this may not be the bed for you.

once assembled it feels cheap. I feel like if i lean against it the rail will snap. It arrived damaged as well. Overall it looks great just wish it was heavier.

We bought the crib as a gift for a baby shower.recently when the baby was ready for a crib they opened and were going to assemble but behold no instructions.i could have probably figured it out but the young couple could not.they called me and then I called Amazon.first after a 35 minutes of confusion I was no where.besides there broken English and inability to problem solving.I asked them to call me back ha ha.the next day I called again got a foreign call center will another broken English speaking rep in a small room where I could barely hear the broken English rep over all the back ground noise which I continued to tell him about.once again there was no resolve after another 20 minutes of confusion I got frustrated and hung up.when I cooled off I went to dream on me .com and got the instructions on a pdf file and forwarded to the young couple.Amazon customer service was absolutely no help!!!!!!!!! After wasting an hour of my time and them selling me an incomplete product he offered me a 5$ coupon I laughed so product was some what ok but amazon customer service 0

Support mattress really give me a hard time. The support mount should be in the side of support mattress. But this is not in the side, so it's really tough to fit with leg.

Easy to set up,strong and sturdy,the height adjustment is definitely a positive.However,one of the railings came with a bad scratch.the bars separating in the head and foot railings are even and mobil placement does not appear attractive on them.

Love the crib, it was packaged ok, but it has several dings on it. Rather disappointed, but I'll have to live with it, as we took all the pieces out and tore the box up to put in the trash right away. I would have liked a product without any damages. I'll add the photos to show you what is wrong with it.

Crib was damaged. outside box looks fine, appears to be from the factory. Would have sent back, but there was not enough time to do so. Assembly was also a pain, as the parts aren't labeled. Cannot recommend.

Ordered two of these cribs for twins and both have holes in wrong spots....anyone else have this problem? Not very happy

I was not impressed with the misplaced stickers on the crib...the ones that said attention this is the inside of the crib....when in fact it was not the inside!!! I almost had the crib together and had to take it all back apart...I am 9 months pregnant...and I have to say I was a bit frusterated!!! Had it not been for the stickers...I would have realized the holes for the metal box spring went on the inside of the crib...ugh!!! I do love it now that it's all put together...but...I'm going to have to find some caps that fit over the screws...don't really like that they are visible from the outside of the crib.

It looks great but I was going crazy trying to figure out what was smelling so strongly. I threw out my brand new crib mattress but the nursery still had a strong smell, kind of burned my eyes...weird taste in my mouth, very chemical smell. I got and organic crib mattress smell still there. Bought another of these cribs ( long story) set up in a different room different house...BAM there are those crazy fumes again! I don't even have a crib mattress in there.. Crib is the only culprit..I can smell it from the next room and feel it in my eyes. I do have a sensitive nose... But I bet your baby does too.

Parts were not labeled to match assembly instructions. Visible gouges in wood. Defective and missing hardware. The crib has to sit 99% assembled, unable to be used, until replacement hardware comes in. Not sure how this will convert to a toddler bed as shown. There is no additional bar to sturdy the crib once the front is taken off to convert. Very disappointed in this purchase.

Sure, the price is low but ugh.. the quality is just awful. Don't leave a toddler in this thing for two minutes or you'll have chipped paint everywhere. Would have done much better buying a nice used crib for the price. Not happy! Crib just feels cheaply made!

First of all, i received a damaged product. I wonder why It couldn't bear the normal wear & tear? Looks like the quality of the wood is not so good. I don't want to use the broken crib and returning it back.

Lightweight, pretty easy to assemble but came in damaged.

its a bit flimsy for something a baby sleeps in

Will have to call the vendor for missing pieces. Let alone instruction booklet. It's a great looking crib though.

I give it 1 star for looks.I give it 1 star for price.I take away a 1 star for smell. Oh my goodness the smell is HORRIBLE!!! Smells like mothballs and paint mixed together!I take away 2 stars for safety. I hope they recall this one. Even though it was Prime. My kids ended up ripping the box. So I guess we are "stuck" with it. But, it won't be used as a crib! Maybe a toddler bed (take the front rail off). I can stick my hand in between the mattress and rails. I thought the whole "drop down sides" thing was a stupid thing to ban from cribs. So, if I think this is dangerous. It is. And back to that smell. I have yet to buy anything organic. EVER. But, I do question what chemicals are in this crib to make the smell. Ugh!This is our 8th kid. We had a crib that was used for the other 7. Unfortunately, it met it's end right before this last kid is due. (Let's just say a certain neighbor kid is no longer allowed in the house). It kept the mattress snug so tight you could put about 2 fingers if you were lucky between the rails and mattress. However, when they made the drop down sides illegal, they stopped manufacturing it. We have a Simmons Beautyrest for cribs mattress if your curious. In otherwords, nice crib mattress.

It was broken, and we had to return it. The wood must not be very durable, which was unfortunate because we really didn't want to wait for another crib and my husband found out 3/4 of the way into assembly.

Description has changed-- we bought this when it was advertised as convertible to a toddler bed. Now that we're ready for that stage, we couldn't figure out how to convert. Makes sense, now that I see all the reviews claiming false advertisement, and a sudden new product description. Even more bothersome, we paid $120 and price has since dropped to 99, likely after they were busted for selling lies. Now we have a bed that's not usable by our toddler, and we're not putting her on a full bed.

We purchased this crib because I did not want to deal with finding the parts to our old crib. The crib showed up on time and looked like the quality was good. The crib went together how it should until it came time to place the metal framework for the mattress. The frameworks weld where the main frame meets was welded at an angle, which made the four little hanger brackets not line up with the holes. This was beyond frustrating, and I attempted to bend the frame to make it fit but it was not possible. The crib was half assembled sitting in our living room, and I had an angry 8 month pregnant wife. After an hour of trying to make the frame work I gave up and bought a new one from the local babies r us.

It's extremely easy to put together, but anyone with basic understanding of weight and mechanics could easily see that this crib can't take a lot of weight and jolting that a toddler or infant could inflict. My main issue is the fact that this entire crib had sections drilled either too low or too high. I got in contact with the warranty replacements line, and they sent me replacements for the errored pieces. But the replacements they sent me were the WRONG PIECES. I specifically sent pictures and verified the pieces with issues in all my emails with the replacement line, and they have failed terribly. I'd use it as kindling before I put my baby in this crib.

Screws wouldn't go into one side to hold up springs because they hadn't set the the nut part on the wooden siding to screw into. Very upsetting as I had the crib 80% done before I saw this.

The holes were not drilled properly. Had to drill many new holes in order to assemble this crib. Also, the stickers saying which side is the inside were not all correct.Now that there are extra holes in the crib that shouldn't be there, and considering the time spent making this work, I wish I had paid a little more and gotten a different crib.I never write reviews but thought I would on this since it is the worst purchase I have made in years.HORRIBLE.

This is a horribly built crib. My husband was putting it together and discovered the pre-drilled holes don't line up. This will be going back.

Crib is not usable it came out the box very damaged. With several cracks

Was putting together and wood snapped. Cheaply made wood, would NOT recommend to anyone!

Adorable looking crib from what I could see out of the box. It was missing all the piecing to connect it together. Ended up sending it back and buying a different crib all together. Pretty disappointed.

Missing instruction book

I loved the look of this crib, but we returned it because it was very light weight and cheap feeling. I would rather spend more money on a better quality bed.

I have missing parts in these.I was given this product with no manual describing installation.
