Very Nice Crib 
2008-08-21
My husband and I are good students, we did a lot of research before deciding on this crib. Our homework included visits to Babies R Us and Jordan's, reading Baby Bargains, Consumer Reports, and reviews here on Amazon. We chose this one based on (1)Price (2)Quality of reviews/materials (3)Extended life due to conversion options (4)Preference for no drop-side (5)Availablity in a Natural finish.
Pros:
-Shipping was fast! We ordered on 8/11 and it arrived 8/19.
-Assembly was easy! I'm 31 weeks pregnant, and put it together alone in less than 2 hours with nothing but a Phillip's tip in my drill and the materials provided.
-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.
Cons:
-Directions could use a little fine-tuning. I'm pretty handy, and they were not so clear. The wooden crib parts are not labeled at all, making it difficult to determine which side was which. I also ended up with extra parts. There were many more locking washers included (20) than were indicated in the parts list (4), and the instructions never told you how and when to use them. I used 4 when installing the metal platform, but didn't use the rest.
-Trundle drawer is pretty cheesy. Not that this should be a selling point of the crib, but it's mostly particle board, the under-drawer support is too short, and the total drawer size is tiny compared to the dimensions of the crib. No wonder they don't show it in the picture! Ironically, this was the only part that had any labels for assembly.
-Pine is a soft wood, and dings pretty easily. It arrived with a couple of dings, and I put a couple in it during assembly. This is to be expected and is a compromise we were willing to make based on the price.
Notes:
-This will be our first child, so we haven't used it yet, nor do we have much to compare it to besides other furniture.
-Someone less handy might have more trouble with assembly.
-Amazon told us it would arrive in January, but that probably was a SNAFU.
-Product is actually made by Million Dollar Baby, DaVinci is a sub-label of MDB. You can find MDB/DaVinci reviewed in the book Baby Bargains (which is an awesome resource, for the record.)
Summary:
Nice crib for the price, which is just what we wanted. Thanks!
Nice Crib 2008-07-24
Crib looks nice once put together and is VERY sturdy. However instructions are less than desirable!! Horrible directions nothing is labeled. Someone dropped the ball in that aspect. Also scratches easily so be careful when putting together. Overall not bad for the money.
Nice stuff

The qualify of this crib is excellent. The pine wood is nice. I compare the crib with the wood furniture bought from IKEA. This crib definely has much better materials. I took about 2.5 hours to complete the assembly. Instructions are clearn and it is not hard to DIY. This bed is very sturdy. When I shaked it, it did not have any sounds.
One thing I don't like is the drawer. It looks so cheap because it is not made of solid pine wood.
BEAUTIFUL crib for our little girl! 2008-06-27
My husband and I spent much time researching cribs and finally found this one online. We are very happy with the product as a whole. The wood is a TRUE cherry rather than the light look of the picture, and the directions were pretty straight forward. The only downside is that there was a large dig in the wood on the back of the headboard, but since no one will see it, we decided to keep it. Also, shipment was fast!
We would buy DaVinci products again and are very happy with this crib!
Davinci Parker Natural Crib 2008-06-25
We purchased the crib for our daughter and son-in-law. The baby is due mid-July. It was fairly easy to assemble and looks good. We did write the manufacturer to see if wooden plugs were available to go over the holes and screwheads to give it a more finished look, but have not heard from them.

Awesome Crib! 2008-06-04
This is an awesome buy on this crib. It is a really beautiful piece of furniture and I cannot wait until my baby is here so that he can sleep in it. I love that it comes with the drawer and the toddler bed rail. With free shipping you cannot find this great crib any cheaper. The only problem at all is that the finish came off in a few spots when it was getting put together but that can be fixed with a little furniture polish. Overall Great product.
Great Crib 2008-05-18
I am very happy with this crib. We had a little bit of trouble putting it together but in the end I feel like it is very sturdy and I am very pleased with the way it looks. The price was unbeatable and I didnt realize when I bought it that it converts to a toddler bed and it came with a trundle drawer which was a nice little surprise. There was one missing part to the drawer but I emailed customer service about it and had the part shipped to me within a week so I was also very satisfied with the customer service aspect.
so easy to put together 2008-04-27
It didn`t take long to put together at all. Maybe an hour. The only thing I noticed is that the holes the hardware went in didn`t come with the pegs to cover the holes to make it look finished. Other wise the crib is awesome. The color match was perfect
Thank You
BEAUTIFULLY SURPRISED 2008-04-21
I bought this crib for a gift. It was easy to assemble and is as beautiful as the picture. The color was a true dark cherry.
We did have one problem with the crib assembly. The under drawer below the crib had an issue. The base or bottom of the drawer was NOT the right piece for this crib. We are waiting for the piece to come in. Other than that we are VERY happy with the overall appearance and workmanship.
For all you Ladies out there who don't have a MAN around at the time of assembly or don't want to wait!!! No worries!!!
As expectant mothers go...the nesting instinct has set in and my niece could not wait to assemble. We started assembly around 10:30 pm. After 3 hot flash sessions , cheese burger & tator tots, 1 air conditioning adjustment and lets not forget 2 potty breaks ...we had ourselves a crib! We laughed ourselves silly and hoped that no one was watching us.
We would assemble a part and move on only to realize...OOPs we had either turned a piece the wrong way or used the wrong part. These errors that we had were no fault to the manufacturer...We would have to blame it on sleep deprivation and seeing it put together with aside of excitement. We have placed a hint below for you.
Lay all the different nuts, bolts, brackets out before starting. Give yourself plenty of room. Make sure that the brackets, crib slats and bed frame pieces are turned in the right direction before starting this adventure...Looking at the images provided on the instruction sheet will help you with that.
May your experience be as wonderful as ours...with a splash of comic relief.
