We bought this crib in white thinking the price was great for the convenience of a 4-in-1 and it would look nice in her room, but it is NOT worth purchasing!

1. Since the directions only had (terrible) pictures and no words it took like an hour to put together!
2. Despite putting it together correctly and being careful, the drawer comes off the rail ALL the time and it is a bear to get back on!
3. Within a week or two of our daughter being able to pull herself to standing up in her crib, the white paint started to chip off - on her lips, hands... everywhere!
4. After only a few months, we've had to retighten some of the screws in the front because it was not sturdy and were afraid (especially as strong as our daughter is for a little one!) that she would be able to push hard enough and come tumbling out!

SUPER frustrating and disappointing! Still using it because we can't afford another one at this time, but as soon as we can we're going to get a different one!

The only draw to it is that it looks nice and the concept is nice... Avoid at all costs!!!

5/4/18 EDIT - So, our daughter's leg got stuck in between the slats somehow today and we couldn't get it out. My husband had to trash part of it to get her out. My heart was in my throat!! Yet another reason to avoid!!

We purchased this crib because we were looking for something that was simple looking, reasonable, white, had good reviews and would maximize space (hence the drawer).

Overall it was pretty easy to put together - helps to have two people working on it. Some of the steps had pictures that made it a bit difficult to follow - work slowly and keep double checking the picture for orientation of pieces. Once put together - we haven't had any issues with the drawer not closing or things being lopsided (as some reviewers had said). It might have to do with making sure you follow the directions really well. I should point out - getting the mattress holder aligned in (the black metal piece) was really difficult - needed a long of strength and force.

It's very pretty looking...not sure how it will hold up (will edit this review once baby arrives and we use it). I'm hoping it's durable!

My only beef with this crib is that the drawer is shorter than I expected. It doesn't go all the way to the back of the crib - so in no way do you get maximum use of the space under the crib - see pictures. This was terribly disappointing and upsetting, but not much I can do about it now.

Some reviewers said they had issues getting close to the crib because of the drawer or that the drawer was hard to open. I haven't had any of those issues. The drawer (although short) is easy to open with just my foot (you don't even need to bend down). You don't need a handle and my foot fits under the drawer enough that I could lean into the crib if I needed, and our crib is on carpet.

At first when you open it it's over whelming to see all the stuff you have to put together but once you read the manual thoroughly and learn to understand it then it becomes easy to build kind of like a table of contents within the pictures on the manual. And the numbers on the parts makes it alot more simple to understand but overall the crib looks amazing and is worth the money spent. Im sure the baby's gonna love it.

My husband and I are expecting our first child in October, so we wanted to have a crib set up in advance. I found this crib, and despite the negative reviews I've seen, the Graco Solano 4-in-1 has met our expectations. My husband and I put this together in about an hour. The instructions are mostly pictures, but they are easy to follow if you pay attention. The crib did not have any damage like others mentioned. Just one minor scratch that is barely noticeable and not worth fixing. We don't have an issue with the drawer on ours either, like some mentioned. Maybe it doesn't glide in and out as smooth as other drawers I've used in my life? But if you line it up correctly when you are pushing it back in, I don't really see why there would be an issue. We knew the drawer wouldn't be huge, but to have a place to store extra sheets, it is perfect. The crib looks nice and felt sturdy when we tried shaking it after assembled. Overall, a good value for the price and we are happy with it.

I just put this crib together today so I will update after a few months usage but for now...

First off I really like the look of this crib. I love the simple elegance of the design.
The package arrived with a few rips and punctures but thankfully there was no real damage to the crib itself. As I was putting it together there was a couple very minor scuffs and scratches but nothing that a marker can't touch up with ease.
I would recommend that 2 people put this crib together just because it would be easier with a second set of hands however at 8 months pregnant I was able to assemble it alone in about an hour. The instructions are easy enough to follow. I will say the package the hardware was in was busted inside the box so I had to fish around for a couple pieces but all was there. They do not include any extras so if a screw or nut is faulty you are going to have to call and get them to send you replacement parts.
I read in a few reviews where they said the bottom drawer would come off the track however I haven't had that problem as of yet. I've opened and closed it numerous times both by foot and hand and the drawer has remained in its track.
Overall I'm very happy with this product. I will update my review after a few months usage to assess it's durability.
