Gulliver Crib from Ikea

Hi everyone! I'm considering the Gulliver crib from Ikea. I don't need a convertible crib because I want either a trundle twin bed or a bed with drawers underneath it for when we move to a real bed.  I'm just worried because this crib is so much cheaper that everything we saw at Babies R Us.  Anyone used it and liked or disliked it?

    We've used it for over a year now and have no complaints. It's nice and simple and was easy to assemble and change mattress height. We used an ikea mattress, but any standard size mattress will fit. The gulliver is a very popular crib, and for good reason. It's a great price too.

    We bought the Gulliver crib.  It was highly recommended by Baby Bargains, and was well within our budget.  It is made from solid wood and seems super sturdy.  It is pretty low to the ground, but it's a plus for us, since we aren't super tall.

    We have two.  Highly recommend.  They've both held up really well to the abuses of two little boys.

    We used it from 7 months until we switched to a twin at just under 20 months. No complaints at all. It withstood my toddler holding on the rails and jumping up and down so enthusiastically that he lifted it off the floor. Smile

    It's a really bare-bones, simple crib with a small footprint and it will do the job just fine.  It is shorter than most cribs, so it might require more stooping for you if you are tall.

    My babies are not here yet, but I love mine so far. I bought the Safety First Heavenly Dreams foam mattress for $47 off Amazon.com and couldn't be more pleased with the whole package purchase. 

    I could have easily bought something more expensive, but why when the Gulliver comes so highly rated.

    I love ours.  Have been using it since birth for my almost 2 yo.  No complaints whatsoever!  I'll be buying another one for the baby on the way.
