Storkcraft Crib Review
Hey Guys! It’s Camie, one of the Sleep Baby sleep consultants outside Denver, CO and we are about to welcome baby #2 to our family! Getting ready for a new baby can come with a huge range of emotions - excitement, overwhelm, nervousness, and so much more. One of the most important things you’ll want for a new baby and nursery - and what usually is the centerpiece of every room is a crib. When I began to design baby girl’s nursery in my head, and using tons of pictures online, the crib was the focus of the room. It helped set the design for the rest of the room to really come together.
I knew I wanted a white crib with accents of wood somewhere on it - and Storkcraft came through with the perfect crib for our space. We chose to go with the Storkcraft Equinox 3-1 Convertible Crib in Driftwood. I love how simple and modern it looks, and the sides with the driftwood add an beautiful feel and texture to the crib and room - it makes it look way more than just a plain white crib.
My husband and I were really impressed with how quickly it arrived on our doorstep and that we were able to put it together in just a short amount of time. One of the things that can be so frustrating with putting a crib together, is the pieces never look like the directions and you’re left figuring out which screws fit into which spot, and if you use the longer screw or the short screw. I hate putting together furniture. However, putting this together was a breeze - all of the pieces were packaged with care so there wasn’t damage on the crib or side pieces, and the directions were easy to follow - step by step and pictures that matched the parts needed.
The crib has the ability to be lowered to many different heights and levels as baby grows and needs to be closer to the ground for safety purposes. With our first baby, I wasn’t able to lower the crib without help - I needed someone to stand on the other side and hold the mattress rail in place while I unscrewed and rescrewed the other side. But, with this crib, I lowered the crib on my own and didn’t need someone holding the other end. Huge benefit because babies can be so unpredictable and all of a sudden learn a new skill over naptime that requires them to need a change in their sleeping arrangements.
We also got the Graco Ultra 2-1 Premium Dual Sided Crib & Toddler Mattress to use in her crib. I like that there is a label on each side of the mattress to let us know which side is baby vs. toddler so that we can easily switch when it’s time. The crib has the ability to transform into a toddler bed which is a great feature when we are ready to move baby girl into a toddler bed when she’s older without needing to purchase a whole new bed for her.
Storkcraft’s customer services is top notch - they truly do care about their customers and want the experience of building a nursery and home for your baby to be an enjoyable and stress free adventure. They answered my questions with ease and were prompt, and the delivery time like I mentioned earlier was quick and fast.
I’m so glad to have the nursery ready for our sweet girl, and that Storkcraft helped us reach all of our nursery goals with our crib set up. Bringing a new baby home is one of the most fleeting, enjoyable, and exhausting times in our lives as parents - enjoy every moment!
