I didn't get one. I think it's a nice-to-have item for decoration, but if you buy all the nice-to-haves, you'll spend too much. So this was one item I decided not to get. I also didn't both with a bedding set, because the bumper and the quilt aren't recommended because of SIDS. So you spend all this money and you can only use the sheet and skirt anyway.
I think the crib looks just fine without the skirt - and the mobile is the only thing the baby will look at anyway.

Before we decided on a bedding set, I did this on our crib. With Hobby Lobby's 50% off sale, I could 3 spools of ribbon for $6 and it looked SO CUTE.
ETA: Here's a [really dark] picture of what I did.
I got one on Amazon for 15$....I wasn't about to spend big bucks on one!
I do think it depends on the the crib...I just liked the way it looked on mine.
