Great quality for great value
Happy Shopper from Upstate, NY – Verified Buyer
We did a lot of research on cribs and had very little to spend on one. You can find ANYTHING you'd like in cribs if money is no object, however for the majority, we are always looking for the best quality product we can buy within the price we are willing or able to pay. This crib is extremely sturdy, all wood construction, except for the board that the mattress is put on. I was afraid it was going to be flimsy and bendy but it was in fact heavy, thick, and sturdy. Other reviews commented on smell but you will notice that most of those had the espresso finish. I believe that is a finish result only. We ordered the honey oak and there was absolutely no smell at all. It smelled just like wood actually. Packaging came undamaged and inside was wrapped very well. I will say to read the instructions first. They are not very clear but we assembled this in about a half hour. And notice that there will be some hardware left over. We are very pleased with this crib and have received many compliments on it. Great value, great product, and would definitely recommend this to someone shopping on a budget.
Lisa from San Antonio, TX – Verified Buyer
I ordered the Tuscany fixed side convertible crib and I am very pleased with the crib. 5 Stars is not enough. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Very easy to put together, very sturdy and absolutely Gorgeous. The price is low for the quality of the crib. My husband is a perfectionist and a home builder and he was very impressed with the quality of the product as well. And that doesn't happen EVER. He always finds something wrong. But not with this product.. I will most definitely order more products for the home and office through Wayfair. Pros: Very strong, sturdy and easy to assemble. Delivery was extremely fast. Product arrived in perfect condition. Cons: Absolutely no complaints.
Beautiful piece of furniture!
Vicki from Winston Salem, NC – Verified Buyer
I bought this for my grandson's nursery who is set to arrive in early February. My son and daughter-in-law LOVE this crib! It is absolutely gorgeous; it is a very sturdy and solid piece of furniture with a beautiful espresso color! It was easy to put together, under an hour, but it does require two people. They love that it is a convertible piece of furniture that can be used for many years - very cost effective - and it is a lot less inexpensive than what you would find at a large retail store like Babies 'R' Us! Another feature that they adore are the soft edges, nothing sharp or pointy. Overall, GREAT product! Thanks!
baby crib
Joyce from Shamong, NJ – Verified Buyer
Good quality crib. A little hard to put together, but all parts were there and non were damaged and fit together nicely. Was a little disappointed that the wood support that holds the mattress board was not stained. It does show a little so I had to buy stain and try and match it. Also would have been a little happier if the screws matched or you couldn't see them as much. Good heavy, sturdy crib.
Liana from atwater, CA – Verified Buyer
I bought this same crib for my daughter three years ago in Espresso. It has lasted very well, so I bought this one in white for the new baby. Still like it! The holes did not match up on some parts with this one though, so my husband had to make a couple new holes. It did not look very pretty so thankfully he filled them in and it looks better. I do not like how you can see every screw hole on the crib though. On the darker crib it blended in better than on the white crib.
Gorgeous crib!
Jacob from Westerville, OH – Verified Buyer
Gorgeous crib! Looks way more expensive than what it actually is. Easy to put together (especially because we had to take it apart twice- first time because it wouldn't fit through the doorway and the second time because we were way too on a roll to read the directions). Baby isn't due until april so we will see if my review changes at all before then. BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Great crib!
Amy from Colonie, NY – Verified Buyer
We puurchased this crib in the Espresso finish. It was delivered within a week, flawlessly packaged, and simple to assemble (although assembly definately requires two people). The crib is very sturdy and looks even better in person than in the picture. Although this crib has the ability to convert to a full sized bed, I'm not certain how sturdy it would be in that capacity. We only plan to use it for its crib and toddler bed functions. I definately recommend this product!
Storkcraft crib in Cognac
Charlene from Brownfield, ME – Verified Buyer
This is a beautiful crib. I bought this as a gift for "my any day now" grandson. Having bought it sight unseen I was unsure about the quality and color. My daughter emailed me a picture of it set up, but until I saw it myself I could not appreciate it. Cognac was a good choice for a color as it is much richer in color than shown. It definitely exceeded my expectations in quality and ease of assembly.(per son-in-law) I highly recommend this crib.
Beautiful, Classic Crib
Renee from Crestwood, KY – Verified Buyer
We love the simplicity of this crib. It looks fabulous in our little guy's room. It was pretty simple to put together. My hubby and I put it together in less than an hour. I gave it a 4 because there were a couple of scratches/rough marks on the rail. Not noticeable enough to ask for a new piece. Other than that, super pleased with the price and the design.
I love it!!!
Rodrigo from Clarksburg, MD – Verified Buyer
We just bought this crib for our first bantams we could not be more satisfied with the quality and price we got this beautiful crib! It had all the things required to built it and was easy to assemble and once together brought tears to my eyes!! The only thing my husband complained about was the visual bolts but otherwise amazing buy!!!

"In Crohn's disease patients, 18F-FDG PET/CT seems to accurately detect advanced inflammatory changes and also unmask subepithelial disease activity that might be missed by colonoscopy. Therefore, PET/CT might serve as an additional tool for evaluating disease activity in IBD patients, e.g., in defining complete remission," noted Bettenworth.
Michael Schfers, MD, senior author of the study, added, "Using a clinically established tracer, the translation of this approach into daily clinical routine should benefit patients in the near future and will further promote the use of PET/CT for new indications in clinical algorithms."
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic-remittent, inflammatory conditions featuring characteristic mucosal lesions within the bowel leading to diarrhea, stricture formation, abdominal pain and weight loss. Crohn's disease may affect as many as 700,000 Americans, and ulcerative colitis may affect up to an additional 700,000; incidence rates for these diseases are on the rise worldwide.

Authorities: Kansas man who killed 2 cops dies
TOPEKA, Kan. A man with a history of theft and weapons convictions gunned down two police officers investigating possible drug activity in a Kansas grocery parking lot, and was later killed after an armed standoff, authorities said Monday.
Hundreds gathered outside Topeka police headquarters with candles in memory of Cpl. David Gogian and Officer Jeff Atherly. Members of the slain officers' families attended Monday night's vigil along with dozens of law enforcement officers in uniforms.
"You never really think you're going to lose friends. Everybody, I think, is still in shock," said Officer Kurtis VanDonge, a 31-year-old Army veteran who was in Atherly's training class and worked under Gogian.
A bagpiper played "Amazing Grace," and a minister read from the opening chapter of the Gospel of John that includes the verse: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
The man who opened fire on the officers Sunday night was David Edward Tiscareno, 22, of Topeka, said Kyle Smith, deputy director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Shawnee County Sheriff Herman Jones said Tiscareno was seated behind the driver's seat of a car stopped in the parking lot of a Topeka grocery store when police ordered the occupants to get out. After shooting two of the three responding officers, Tiscareno got back into the car and drove from the scene. The third officer returned fire, Jones said.
"There were people inside the store," Jones said during a news conference earlier Monday. "There were residents who saw this going on. There were people driving. There was a multitude of witnesses there."
Gogian, 50, and Atherly, 29, were shot in the head, according to authorities.
Based on a tip, law enforcement officers found Tiscareno holed up early Monday at a house about a mile away. When negotiations broke down, Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents fired tear gas inside. Tiscareno then emerged from the home with a gun and officers opened fire, according to the Shawnee County sheriff's office, which is leading the investigation.
Smith said investigators believe Tiscareno fired a single shot outside the home before authorities returned fire. Tiscareno was declared dead at a hospital.
Police Chief Ronald Miller said the 280 officers on his Topeka force are "numb." The shootings in the Kansas capital followed last week's massacre at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. Closer to Topeka, earlier this month, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend, then drove to the team's practice site and committed suicide.
"There's a lot of people in this country that are grieving some of the things that have happened over the last several days, and we're just counted among that group," Miller said.
Gov. Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt participated in the vigil. Miller called Gogian and Atherly "first-rate police officers" and added: "We can't make sense of what has happened."
Online court records show Tiscareno was charged in September 2008 with one count of theft of less than $1,000. He pleaded no contest in April 2009 and was sentenced to 12 months of supervised probation. His probation was revoked in January 2010.

Alma is a town in Allegany County, New York, United States. The population was 842 at the 2010 census. The source of the town name is uncertain. It may come from the Latin word for "nourishing", or it may be named for a city in Germany.
The Town of Alma is on the southern edge of Allegany County and is southwest of the Village of Wellsville.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2012)
The area was first settled around 1833. The Town of Alma was established in 1854 from part of the Town of Willing. From 1881 to January 1893 several of the settlements in the Township (most notably Allentown) were on the Wellsville-Eldred Main Line of the Bradford, Eldred & Cuba Railroad (BE&C). The BE&C was a 36" narrow-gauge railroad built to serve the Allegany County oil boom. With the end of the boom and loss of the passenger and freight traffic therefrom the railroad entered receivership (bankruptcy) and was abandoned. Today the railheads for Alma Township are Wellsville and Friendship.
Remnants of the railroad bed for the BE&C can be seen in the village of West Clarksville between the village and Dodge Creek behind the Clarksville store.James E. Lewis, a resident in West Clarksville from 1936-1950. This railroad bed was one of my playgrounds with my bicycle. The Clarksville store was in my family for three generations: Frank Windsor, James E. Windsor, and my dad Malcolm W. Lewis.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 36.5 square miles (95 km2), of which 36.5 square miles (95 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) (0.25%) is water.
Alma Hill, the wide rise which dominates the southern half of town, is at 2,548 feet (777 m) not only the highest point in Allegany County but the entire western half of the state. The section of Alma Hill Road that runs near the summit is, at approximately 2,500 feet (760 m), the highest free paved public road in the state outside of the Catskills.[citation needed]
The south town line is the Pennsylvania border.
New York State Route 417 (NY 417) crosses the north part of the town.
At the 2000 census,[1] there were 847 people, 322 households and 243 families residing in the town. The population density was 23.2 per square mile (9.0/km²). There were 533 housing units at an average density of 14.6 per square mile (5.6/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 97.99% White, 0.12% African American, 0.35% Native American, 0.24% Asian, 0.24% from other races, and 1.06% from two or more races.
There were 322 households of which 33.5% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 63.0% were married couples living together, 7.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 24.5% were non-families. 20.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 7.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.63 and the average family size was 2.99.
