What reviewers didn't like

Some purchasers mentioned that its slats became scratched and dented when their baby chewed on them.
The wood is little soft, so there will be some scratches over the time. If your baby likes to bite things, there will be teeth marks on the wood too.
The first is an overly difficult assembly. Many of the cribs that we tested, including all three of our other picks, have four parts to assemble, plus the mattress support. The Kalani crib, on the other hand, has 14 pieces out of the box and a sleighlike design with front and back pieces that are different from each other and need to face in a particular direction.
Conversion kid not included and has to be purchased separately
We just wish it were easier to put together. Assembly is a two-person job—and it can take a couple of hours to complete.
Pine wood is soft and may scratch and dent easily
- Heavy
The soft wood makes it easier to ding it and scratch it.
The toddler bed already contains a transformation kit. On the other hand, you may need to buy the conversion kit separately for a full-sized bed.
Softer wood may dent or scratch easily
Slight odor upon opening (disappears after airing)
Davinci Kalani crib does scratch easily.
Features sharp and hard sides that can be of concern to parents
