Anyone buy the Koala Home Taylor Lifetime Crib- White?

My DH and I have narrowed our crib choices down and this is our frontrunner. The biggest complaints on reviews I've read is that the crib doesn't have springs, but rather an MDF board as it's support for the mattress, and that you need a bigger mattress for a tight fit. Did anyone else get this crib? Should those issues deter me from it? It seems like a really sturdy and nice looking crib!

  • Lots of cribs have MDF boards instead of springs.  Also I have heard issues on many cribs about the space.  DDs crib has a MDF board and the matress fits snug.  I would say if you can go look at it in the store and see for yourself how well the mattress fits but I wouldn't worry about the MDF.

  • We bought it but have not put it up yet. And we haven't bought a mattress so I don't know it is has those issues

  • We bought it this weekend and it does seem bigger but the mattress area is supposed to fit a normal size mattress (i haven't bought mine yet)!  HOWEVER, warning to those who buy this crib... check EVERY piece before assembly!!  DH got the ENTIRE thing together and got to the front piece... crack!  I had to be a crazy person and take it back at 7:50 when they close at 8!  Just a little heads up!
