I bought the Munire Lifetime Crib after reading Baby Bargains and seeing the great rating it received. Instead of lasting a lifetime, this crib has not made it to one year. The finish began peeling off after a few months and scratches and dents extremele easy so I replaced the footboard through my local USA Baby. I then replaced the brackets that have now been recalled because I could tell the crib was not deep enough. I have since replaced the brackets again due to the recall. When I did so, the anchors holding the stabilizer bar to the sides has fallen off. This makes the crib impossible to use as a toddler bed and dangerous if you have too much side to side movement. I have boosted up the bar with books and blocks so my son can sleep in it and I contacted Munire. They went through the USA-Baby from whom I ourchased the crib and brought a new replacement crib today. As the company was unloading the crib, pices of the “wood” headboard began falling off. So, I am still out a decent crib for which I paid over $500. I am fed up with Munire, USA Baby, and the fact that I believed the Baby Bargains recommendation. This furniture is absolute JUNK!
