I own it as of last weekend! I just started putting it together today, so I can't offer many thoughts. It was actually my third ikea choice, but they were out of my top two and I honestly don't care that much
I looked at the space around the mattresses, and despite what the new baby bargains says, I didn't find anything that I'd worry about at all (on any of them, though I could see that their really squishy lower priced mattresses might make it seem like it was a problem). The other color version of this one was a consumer reports best buy, which is nice. It felt sturdy in the store (all but their $79 did, fwiw) and I like the way that it turns into a toddler bed, though I think that it makes it look a little funny as a crib. It is off white, not white white, if it matters to you.
Re: Anyone own the Ikea Hensvik crib?
This is the one we're planning on getting. It had good safety ratings, and I like the look of it.
Doesn't really answer your question, but I thought I'd chip in
