This was the best purchase I made for a new baby. I wanted to have a crib in my room for my second baby, and shopped around for the best solution. This was great because it had the changing table attached - which, trust me, for a newborn, you'll need close by. I loved that it a storage piece connected, which was great for diapers, butt paste and rags. I also kept small baby onesies underneath the changing table/basinet for an easy reach outfit change. I loved it. I used it until he was about 3 months old and was too big for the basinet. It was wonderful and he slept very well in the basinet - I never had any problems with it. And I now use it for a play pen/sleeping place in the living room for him - and he's 1.5.
