I have two of the Emily cribs in ebony. They look very nice and are very sturdy. They were put together with an allen wrench and it took a good afternoon to do two of them. We have since lowered the bed, taken them apart to move to a new room and now are being used at toddler beds. They are still holding together very well and still look good even after a few years of use. I did need to touch up a couple marks, just used a black sharpie and it looks great again. The only thing I would change is that the bolt openings are shown as holes in the wood when converted to a toddler bed, but that is a minor thing. I also love the black color for my twins room. It looks very contemporary and looks good with any color scheme. I wish these would convert to twin bed but they only convert to full size beds when you purchase the optional railings. Overall this is a great looking, decent priced, long lasting crib that will grow with your child.

Do not suggest putting together by yourself. The diagrams on the directions are not the best - make sure to actually read the paragraph attached as they don't show all the steps involved. It's all there, but you do have to read.The bed does come with the side rail for the day bed and all hardware for the install. Obviously you do have to buy the bed rails if you want to convert it to a regular bed. [...] The finish product is well worth the effort. Very sharp looking finished product, and the ability to convert should last for several years.We bought a standard sized mattress, which fits perfectly.My second child is now using this crib and its in just as good shape as the day we bought it. Looks great with all prints!

This crib looks really great when it is put together. It is an attractive addition to the nursery. It is fairly easy to put together and simple to use. I also think it is a very safe product. My main complaint about this crib is that the paint chips extremely easily. We have had to do touch up several times. I think that the quality of the wood could be better. We have this crib in white so maybe this is less of a problem in other colors. I think that the price of the crib is reasonable, although for the price I would expect a better standard of paint. I like that this product can be converted into a toddler bed. It is fairly easy to convert the crib to the bed and it is the perfect size for a toddler. I think that this crib matches well with a lot of other furniture, so if you are not able to buy matching products this is not a big deal. I definitely like the overall look of this crib; however if you look closely at ours now you see many areas where the paint is chipped.

We really debated about buying the Da Vinci Emily crib only because we could not see it in person and did not know what the quality would be. It is so much cheaper than most cribs, we didn't want to get a low quality crib but also did not want to spend a lot either. We took a leap of faith and it paid off! This is a beautiful crib and we are extremely happy with it! Excellent quality and easy to put together. The ebony color is really nice too, it makes for a very sleek look. We love the fact that this crib will turn into a toddler bed, a daybed and eventually you can use part of it for a full size bed headboard. In the 2 years we've been using the DaVinci Emily crib it has held up very well, minimal scratching even when my son runs into it with toys and looks almost brand new. I highly recommend this crib! Don't be fooled into thinking you need to buy an expensive crib, this crib is just as nice and much, much cheaper. With the added features of converting it, that just helps your stretch your money!
