  • "This is indeed a 'good' looking crib, One worthy of a high end modern interior. I do however question if the designers have any children - or have spent some time with different cribs and their 'users'. Here are some points I would like to make that are not readily answered by this article:1. Assembly/Dis-Assembly. Most cribs are flat-packed. The simplest I have seen have at most 5 major components that can be easily assembled with only a couple of fasteners. I know the designers mentioned that they thought about this - but I can assure you most consumers would be deeply frustrated at trying to assemble 20 different pieces (it appears to be the case here?) Especially if they are an expectant mother.2. Visibility - Parents will sometimes place the crib in their own bedroom so that they have some visibility of the baby/child. This particular design (although beautiful) limits this. If you are a first time parent you may even place a camera in the room so that you can constantly monitor your child. Yet again this could be an issue for some as the bars are too thick.3. Mattress. I don't clealry see from their website but the shape of this crib appears to require a custom mattress (could be wrong)- this may have been a shrewd business move. However some parents may wish to buy the mattress separately. Perhaps they want a specific type? What about the mattress cover and protective sheet (pee/vomit etc)? 4. Ergonomics. One of the main issues with cribs from a parental perspective (especially if you have a child sleeping in a crib and are expecting a second one or have a bad back or have just had a C-Section) is that you very often you have to bend down to reach the baby/child (even with the adjust-ability of the height. Because this crib is essentially wider than needed it now places a lot more strain on a users back as they would have to stand further away in order to reach down in to the crib. Having said this; If you are spending $7K on this I guess you have someone to look after your kids anyway. "
