This crib is cleverly designed to grow with your child from infancy through the teen years. The traditional sleigh design of the Graco Sarah 4-in-1 convertible crib makes it a popular choice for baby's nursery, especially with safety minded parents. This sturdy crib features stationary side rails for a safe sleeping environment for baby with a mattress platform that adjusts to three different heights depending on the age of your baby. This lovely crib easily changes into a toddler bed, daybed an

I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about because my husband and I put this together rather quickly, we followed directions and everything was great. It's safe, fit, and sturdy. I can't wait for my baby girl to get here so she can sleep comfy in this beautiful crib! I love the cherry finish and even though I dropped the parts a few times, nothing chipped off or broke off! I highly recommend this crib if you're looking for a beautiful and safe crib for your newborn! Again, please follow the instructions to the tee and you will be good to go!!!

Love this crib

Awsome price for a great product. The color is beautiful and it's super sturdy.

Very easy to assemble.

I can't believe it, but this is another product I would give zero stars or negative stars if possible. My wife normally researches these things before purchase, but can't explain why she bought this. I've assembled my share of shoddy furniture from components, but putting the Graco Sarah Classic Crib together was a particularly bad experience. Anyone rating this assembly experience as easy must work for Graco or its apparent subcontractor, LaJobi.

My first clue to the challenges I would face was an entire page in the instruction manual in large uppercase letters. "STOP (underlined) IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY ISSUES WITH THIS PRODUCT BEFORE YOU RETURN THIS TO THE RETAILER PLEASE FOLLOW PROCEDURES ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THIS FORM". Those instructions told me to call during business hours, or to send an email or fax, which I assumed would be a waste of time until I actually began assembly. At one point I really did want to return the product, but had already discarded the box, and wasn't even sure if a return would be possible. I stumbled through the process without writing or calling.

I felt like the instructions and warning labels had been translated from a foreign language by someone who didn't have English as a first language (Graco's "international team"). For example, I still don't know the meaning of the following "IMPORTANT" message affixed to the bottom stretcher bar: "Remove the fixed side closest to the bottom stretcher bar." Is that important to assembly, or to disassembly? If it's important to assembly, why isn't it in the instruction manual? Some instructions were specific to drop-side cribs, so maybe that part is used in other models and the warning applies to those. The bolt lengths did not exactly match the diagrams provided, maybe due to the fact that "Model shown is example only. Styles may vary". I was never able to identify the "metal spring (F) with tabs", but from the diagram I think they must have actually meant one of the connectors attached to the metal spring support platform (based on the singular terminology, I was looking for one different from the others).

While caring for an infant, it's not easy to find enough time to assemble such a contraption, so the fact that I took the time to write this review should provide an indication of my level of dissatisfaction. I couldn't imagine approaching 28 bolts (eight of three inches in length) with the hex wrench provided, so I went with a power drill. My ongoing lack of sleep, caring for an infant concurrently with constructing the crib, and the mismatch between the diagrams and the actual parts led me to discover only after partial assembly that the manufacturer had drilled some holes deep enough to affix the wrong bolts. Even pieces that I'm sure I put together correctly did not seem to fit perfectly - some of the barrel nuts were flush with the wood, some were recessed, and some protruded from the holes. My next discovery was that the cheap bolts easily strip, leaving shards of metal around the crib in the child's room, and likely making proper future disassembly impossible. I estimate that assembly, partial disassembly, and reassembly took four hours with a power drill - I can't imagine how long it would have taken with the manual hex wrench.

I would not recommend purchasing this (or any self-assembly crib from Graco, for that matter) to anyone not willing to return it after some frustration. If you do buy one, I suggest first checking the return policy, keeping the box, allocating sufficient time, and assembling it before your child arrives. It is a rather large piece of furniture (I think we might be able to get it out of the child's room without a sledgehammer if we first take the door off the doorframe), so you probably want to start with this device instead of a cradle, and assemble it in the room where you intend for it to remain for the duration of its use.

The instructions indicate that one might need a "flat head" screwdriver (probably to manipulate the barrel nuts, which due to the various angles of approach, is probably best achieved with two people), but I'm not sure why they also list a Philips screwdriver. I do have two guess uses for the recommended hammer, one of which would require something more like a rubber mallet, and the other of which would be more like a sledge.

I am still not entirely sure that I assembled this correctly, which doesn't give me a great sense of confidence in the bed in which my child will sleep for more than a year. I feel like the manufacturer spent more resources on product appearance and marketing than on overall quality. Anyone reviewing the assembly process highly likely works for the vendor or has assembled other cribs of even less quality. After doing a little research, it appears that Graco just slapped their branding over a LaJobi product, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in Graco (see [...]). I did appreciate the repeated message, "Adult assembly required" (I was age thirty-seven during the assembly).

In summary, this product typifies how the rush to market and relentless drive to cut manufacturing and documentation costs has eliminated much of the quality from today's consumer products. Much of my frustration could have been avoided if anyone within the company had actually read and tried to apply and consequently updated the assembly instructions. Even before reading the 1-star review, I was considering disposing of this thing, but now I have to give it serious thought (even though I don't remember any plastic pieces). For now my child sleeps in a portable crib.

The crib arrived before the estimated delivery date. It was in perfect condition, packaged very well, and assembled together without any problems. It looks great, works great and my new granddaughter doesn't know it yet, but she loves it!!!

My husband and I put this together in less then 20 mins! Arrived as expected, beautiful color (doesn't look cheap,) structurely sound, and JPMA certified. My main concern was it not having a drop-side, however, the height is PERFECT. With the ADJUSTABLE mattress spring board (metal) at it's highest level and a 5-6 inch thick mattress, the baby is within a safe and not to deep reach (about 2 feet.)

GREAT deal! Crib @ $127.00 and mattress @ $45.00 = New crib set for under $200.00. This is if you can find the items with free shipping.

Currently, I cannot find any problems and am VERY satisfied with this product. I will come back and comment when the crib has had more use.

What's in the Box
Crib with 4-level mattress support, day bed conversion guard rail, full size headboard and footboard (full-size rail kit sold separately).

After it arrived, I opened the box to take a look. The pictures online do not give it justice. We chose Espresso for the color and it looks so much like aged oak. I can see why people rated it lower because of dents, but I understood that it's made of a pine and I know from experience while working with pine it can do this. No big deal to me honestly. I care more about function than look majority of the time. I think it had one dent and that part will never be seen unless someone is looking for it. It does take two people to put it together and the instructions aren't super clear, but two heads are better than one and we figured it out. It's a lot larger than I was expecting and am glad. I can rest assured that she probably won't out grow it too fast. Just overall a beautiful crib! And you really can't beat the price for a brand new crib.

I looked for months for my new twin girl grandchildren, along with my daughter, and for the price they are well worth it and extremely good looking when assembled.

My dad and brother assembled this beautiful crib for me just a few days after my son was born and they said it was a breeze to put together. We'll see how it fares over the next couple of years, but so far so good. My son is too young to have an opinion yet. So far I'm very happy with it.

Grandpa and I chose this crib as a gift for our new Granddaughter.. we wanted the best and were pleased when it arrived at her home and saw how easy it was to assemble and how strong and sturdy it was once in place. It's a beautifully crafted crib and looks rich in relationship with the price. I would definitely recommend this crib to my friends.

We just bought this crib in cherry for my daughter. It really is a beautiful crib. The color is gorgeous, the size is perfect for her nursery, and I love that it will convert to a toddler bed when she gets older. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Sorelle Tuscany Convertible Crib and Changer Combo The Tuscany 4 in 1 Convertible Crib & Changer offers a unique crib design with attached changer. Made from Pine, this crib is sure to last through the years. Changer will detach so crib can convert to full size bed. Smooth, hand rubbed surface and corners make for a classic look.

This is such a wonderful crib - super sturdy, beautifully crafted and practical to boot! Assembly took approximately 1 hour and the crib was definitely slightly larger than I expected. But also much more beautiful than I remembered it to be in the store.

The LA Baby 4 Sided Changing Pad 30", White (available on amazon) fits the furniture perfectly, so for those of you struggling to find a smaller than standard pad for this, look no further. It's $26.99 - we fitted ours this week and it was exactly what we were looking for.

5 stars so far - will update when actually in use (baby boy due end of March) - but from the reviews below, I have high expectations of this crib!

I just finished assembling this with my wife's help, and it could not have been easier thanks to the detailed instructions and the fact that virtually every part was labeled. I've put together hundreds of things over the years, and can't recall the last time the process went this smoothly.

The crib arrived VERY well packed, with foam wrap around all the wooden pieces, and thick Styrofoam around the outside edges for perimeter protection. The front of one drawer had a couple of tiny blemishes, but there wasn't a single scratch on any other piece, and the finish on every part was uniformly perfect. When built, the final result is quite a bit larger than you might expect, but you really feel like you got your money's worth.

For me, the only drawback was that Sorelle doesn't make a "Tuscany" dresser to match. A matching toy box would be cool too.

This crib is absolutely beautiful! It came well packaged, well labeled, and with clear instructions. I had help putting it together, which I recommend so the pieces line up properly. It only took us about 45 minutes. Very sturdy, and the little hardwear that is in front is recessed so you barely notice it. The changing table comes with a pad already so you don't have to spend extra money on another one, some people have complained in their reviews that it is too thin, it is about a half inch thick which is plenty. The sides of the changer come up enough to actually help keep your child on the table. The drawers are deep, and there are small shelves on the back side of the drawers for storage. Plenty of space under the crib for extra storage if you want to put it there. Very pleased with this crib!

My wife and I purchased this crib for our first grandchild. We were definitely not dissappointed in the look or the construction. It was fairly simple to put together and very solid. We wanted something that combined the crib, changing table and storage, and this was perfect. One slight problem was small cracks in two of the shelve pieces, but they were both hidden, and didn't hinder the function. I would definitely recommend this unit.

My husband and I purchased this crib because it was not too expensive and had an attached changing table. We don't have a lot of space in our nursery, so having a 2-in-1 product has worked out great. The drawers and shelves are an added bonus in saving space.

The product wasn't difficult to build. The instructions are mostly clear, and it took about 2-3 hours. The finished product is beautiful and sturdy. We love it and are thrilled with our purchase. I've received many compliments on how great it looks, and on how much storage space it has. The only issue we have is finding a changing pad cover that fits the changing pad that comes with the unit. It is considerably smaller than any of the changing pads we've found on the market.

Overall, it's a beautiful piece of furniture for a great price. Highly recommend this product!

My husband and I love the modern look of the Scandi line. That was pretty much the only reason we purchased this set. Overall, the furniture is poorly made. The drawer is difficult to open and gets stuck at times. The drop side rail cracked after three or four months of use. Three months after that, it completely broke apart in the same area, so now we don't have a drop side crib. Luckily my son didn't fall out of his crib since the railing fell down while he was sleeping and I didn't realize it until after he had already woke up. I contacted La Jobi and they are offering me a new crib in a different style since the Scandi is discontinued. However, I don't like either of the cribs they are offering and neither has a drop side rail which I need since I'm pregnant and it's really hard to bend over the railing while holding my son. This set was supposed to last through all three of our planned children, but now I'm going to have a completely mismatched nursery and baby #2 hasn't even arrived yet. Overall, I'm majorly regretting ever getting this and wish we had forked over the extra money to get something of better quality.

I'm a first time mom researching cribs - I do not own this crib. However, I have been reading reviews and product ratings on Consumer Reports and all agree to avoid drop side cribs. "Recent recalls have raised concerns about the safety of cribs with drop sides. We recommend that you look first for a crib with stationary sides until more stringent and comprehensive safety standards are developed." Babies R Us stopped carrying drop side cribs altogether because of recent recalls.

We bought the two-toned chocolate/white version of this crib over a year ago and I still LOVE it. At the time it was the only affordable, modern crib I could find. I highly recommend it - every time I go into my son's nusery I just marvel at how great it looks. Well made, never had any issues and was easy for us to put together.

the crib came with multiple missing hardware. when i contacted LaJobi as instructed i was told that this model was discontinued, which by the way was not mentioned in the product details before i purchased, and that i would have to PAY additional $45 for a tiny bag of screws and bolts! it's inconvenient enough having to wait on missing parts that should have have been included with my initial purchase, but i am outraged that, Lajobi instead of rectifying their mistake, that they would even have the audacity to charge an outrageous sum for it.

needless to say i'll never purchase another LaJobi product again. it's a shame because the crib itself is actually solidly built especially for the price and i was happy with the Scandi dresser i purchased at the same time. i am also unhappy that i ended up with a convertible crib that won't convert due the fact this line has been discontinued but i'll try my luck at the local hardware store to finish making the crib, rather than dealing with the hassle of returning at this point.

My husband and I purchased this crib because we wanted a modern yet affordable option for our baby. We just couldn't stomach the idea of having some hideous, traditional, spindled piece of baby furniture. This crib is great - sturdy, easy to use, nice to look at, and made of all solid wood pieces. As far as converting to a toddler bed, you should always order the conversion pieces at the time you purchase the crib because the item could be discontinued at any time - no matter what crib, maker, or production date. We were advised to do this by the retailer and found it tremendously helpful since, after 18 months, the color of our crib is no longer in circulation. Overall, this crib was worth every penny and will most certainly last through subsequent babies.

We are expecting in a few months, so this review addresses the crib's quality and ease of assembly, not actual use yet. The crib arrived undamaged and was extremely simple to put together. It took less than an hour, and there were no problems with any of the parts. The wood actually looks even nicer than I had expected based on the customer pictures online. The color is not as dark as the manufacturer picture, but is still a very pretty espresso (not chocolate or black).

The best thing about this crib is the small "footprint." We have a small nursery and were concerned about how big most cribs are. We want baby to be comfortable and safe, but we didn't want an enormous crib that would dominate the room. We are very happy with the low profile of this crib. It fits perfectly, looks great, and seems of solid construction. Looking forward to using it soon!

The crib was easy to assemble and we did not have any issues with the parts. The only thing that ended up being difficult was finding a mattress with the correct dimensions--many of the mattresses available are slightly too small. However, the color is fantastic and the design is very simple and classic.

I got this crib after lots of search on the internet.
The color is what I looked for: it's not too dark brown, a little brighter than espresso in the picture.
And a design is very simple and it looks really really expensive. I love this.
The wood is sturdy and there is no scratch in any parts.
First time I got this crib from Amazon, I found that one part of crib was broken.
It was because of careless of delivery.
Anyway, I called Customer Service, and they directly sent me a new one. It took just a few days.
I strongly recommend this to everyone who's looking for nice, sturdy, and gorgeous crib.

We like the simple design and assembly, however three holes were filled with glue (read: impossible to use.) On the up side, Graco's customer service was quite good and they're sending out a replacement part.
