DESC: Designer Stephen Bauer's interpretation of the classic sleigh crib, will take your breath away. It's gorgeous relief carvings and sophisticated hand rubbed finishes create an energy of absolute opulance. Shown here is the deep satined "espresso" finish, this crib is the pinnacle of design and quality and is the favorite among designers, and stars alike. This crib is specifically designed to have a lower front gate than most cribs (only 35 1/2"), eliminating the need for the movable front gate. Ultimately, fewer moving parts result in fewer potential problems, and easier assembly.
