Stork Craft Rochester Stages Crib With Drawer In White

Customer Reviews

Great baby bed, converts to toddler bed, but needs safety rail

2008-05-14
This is a great crib! It was very easy to assemble and the instructions are printed on the bed platform so that when you convert the bed to a toddler bed you don't have to try and find them again. We got a bedskirt with the bed set and it hid the drawer underneath so that little fingers could not get pinched. He is two and still hasn't figured it out yet. However, he figured out how to climb out and it had to be converted to the toddler bed. He had also now fallen out of the bed because the toddler bed does not have a bed rail. If you get this bed, get a bed rail for when you convert it to a toddler bed.

I bought this even after the reviews and LOVE it

I did a lot of research on everything I purchased for my sons room. I am a first time mom and was very hesitant to buy anything because of price I wanted quality on a budget. We really wanted a crib that had a drawer at the bottom for ALL of the blankets we had been given but could not find anything that we both like and was affordable. I LOVE this crib. We ordered it and was told it would be delivered in two weeks, we got it in 4 days. It was in excellent condition and took just over an hour to assemble the entire thing. It was so simple and looks great. I feel bad for those of you who had a bad experience but ours was great. I suggest any parent looking for a great looking crib at a great price to buy this one!

Broken headboard on upon delivery/buyer beware.

I ordered this through Walmart.Com and received it damaged, but Walmart and/or Storkcraft use a distributor called SEKO Worldwide. The Seko delivery truck delivered the crib. So either this is a Storkcraft problem or a SEKO problem, but the head board had a piece completely split off in two and the other pieces were dented or chipped off. Walmart is re-odering another crib and having this one picked up for me as it is an 80-pound box. Hopefully the next crib won't be damaged, but if so, I am giving up on Storkcraft completely. Walmart didn't have a rating system to leave comments, and when I saw others on this website that had damage problems, I wanted to relay my experience as well. Walmart graciously refunded my shipping fee, which was large. I then received the second crib and it was spotless. The delivery man from Seko Worldwide said that they hear complaints on this a lot and blamed the air carrier that flies the boxes out to the ground shipping location. I also emailed Storkcraft about what happen and the other negative reviews, they offered to send a replacement piece for the broken piece (but no mention about the dented/chipped piece) and then proceeded to place the blame on the retailer. I was not impressed.

I was willing to take my chances on the reorder and was one of the fortunate customers who recieved an unmarked crib. I put it together myself, all the parts were accounted for and the drawer works great. I only bought this for the price and the convertable feature but will not buy Storkcraft in the future.

We love this crib!!!

We ordered this crib on-line from Babies"R"Us/Amazon and we like it a lot! Not only that it arrived one week earlier than the estimated arrival time but it also came in a very good condition. I had read the reviews before we ordered the crib and realized that we were taking a risk as quite a few customers were complaining about problems with trasportation or serious damages due to poor packaging. Our crib arrived in an almost perfect condition. The only reason I did not give it 5 star rating is because one piece that we're going to need when we convert to toddler bed has a chip in it; it is not too bad though. Also, assembling the crib was not a problem at all for my husband and one of our friends. Following the instructions, they were able to assemble in about 1 and 1/2 hour.
As I said before, we're very satisfied with our selection, now we're just waiting for our baby girl (due March 21, 2006) to see how she likes it.
