I love this crib because it was literally the only one that did what we needed it to do, which in our case was have soft sides and fit a full-sized mattress. The mesh sides keep my baby from wrapping his legs all around the wooden slats, as well as from falling over as he likes to do and banging his head on the wood. Using a full sized regular crib mattress obviously allows for more comfort and a bigger space. Set up was honestly a breeze for me and probably took all of ten minutes, and no tools.

In case you're wondering:
- the mesh does stretch a little bit so it may create a small pocket to try and stick your face into. The crib is JPMA certified for safety, and our baby slept in a bassinet when he was smaller, so I am okay with it for those reasons. The walls are stretchier than solid wood, but much more taut than our mesh play yard.
- Is this thing portable? Yes and no. It fits into a duffel bag. If you're in between babies and need to store it, you might lose it in your closet. If you want to transport it, you don't need a u-haul. Heck, you could hop on the bus with this thing without getting so much as a second glance from anyone. With that being said, would I want to travel with this? Probably not. It's lighter than most regular cribs, but heavier than tons of travel cribs. It's also more annoying than other travel cribs to put together. Set up was easy, but not I-wanna-do-this-every-night easy. Most importantly, the biggest advantage of this thing over other mesh cribs is that it fits a full-sized crib mattress, and those are usually not very portable at all. The crib does come with a thinner mattress pad that conveniently folds into the duffel bag as well, but I doubt it's much better than other travel cribs out there. My advice would be: if you want to bring your child's actual full sized crib somewhere with you for whatever reason, this is the crib to do it with. If, however, you're looking for an easy-to-set-up crib to travel around with, I would look into bigger play yards as an alternative.
- The crib sits up off the floor, which I like, so the baby is not on the floor directly, but it does only have the lowest mattress height setting, so you have to bend down pretty low to pick up and put down LO.
- The crib is not easy to climb out of. Depending on your child, they may or may not get out, but the mesh gives way more than wood, and climbing out is a challenge.
- The top and bottom parts are metal. That makes the crib extra sturdy, although the carcass is pretty hard. In our case though, the walls are high enough where my baby does not chew it or hit his head on it.
- As every other reviewer said, instructions are there, they're inside a dedicated crib pouch.

Overall, it's been a great crib for us, and I would recommend it.

Easy setup. But the smell of the crib smell so badly. It's so strong I even open up the window to air it out after couple hours and still has the same strong smell. Gives me headache. That's my only complaint!

I own a baby and beach gear rental business and know baby gear from experience. When I first saw this crib online I thought it was a fantastic alternative to hauling around 55lb wooden cribs. This crib is heavy, too heavy for a travel companion, in my opinion. It weighs less than the wooden crib, but not by much. The assembly and breakdown are actually simple after a few uses.

The necessary tweaks are the zippers and the push-in buttons on the poles. These zippers are too flimsy for such a large item! I've "zipped off" three of them already. They zip off the crib. The mesh that is on the corner of the cribs is what should replace the zippers. The push-in buttons are so hard to push in that it takes much longer to put the crib together and take it apart. They are way too small for your finger to push and there is very little give so trying to get it in the little hole is a hard task. I use an Allen wrench and it is still tricky. Fischer Price has super easy push-in buttons on their gear poles. They are larger and very easy to push in.
I would buy more if the future mesh cribs had these two fixes! My customers love them! And you know why? Because I put it together and take it down! :)

What a great portable crib!
So happy I bought this despite some of the bad reviews. I thought I'd give it a try since I could return it if I didn't like it. But I'm happy to say that I will be keeping this!

It really isn't hard to put together. Like anything new there is a learning curve but anyone with two brain cells can put this together. And I know mommas how we feel like out brain cells are in short supply after birth and new baby with no sleep!

I don't see an issue with the smell. And I don't use any scents in my home. Seriously no scented anything, not really even EOs. If you have an issue with yours smelling as some reviews have said then set it up and let it sit outside or by an open window or door to "off gas" I've had to do this with lots of things I've bought before because smells really effect me and not just pregnant nose mommas.

The quality is top notch in my opinion. With my first I was gifted a really nice top of the line that I loved (can't remember the brand for the life of me). But I past it along to my sister who passed it along. I didn't have money to buy it again so I got this instead. Let me say I can't even tell the difference in the quality! I'm so happy about that! The fabric is soft yet sturdy and all the bits feel like they will last.

This isn't a flimsy little sleeping crib like some on the market. This is quality and worth every penny. I highly recommend this little crib to any parents!

Absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the Baby Delight Horizon Full Size Mesh Crib! As a new parent, finding the perfect crib was a top priority, and this one ticks all the boxes. What impressed me most was the safety-focused design. The mesh walls are a game changer "“ they not only provide fantastic airflow, ensuring my baby sleeps soundly, but also give me peace of mind knowing there's no risk of tiny limbs getting stuck.

The sturdy metal frame is another standout feature. It's robust yet doesn't compromise on aesthetics, fitting beautifully into our nursery space. I was also pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up. I'm no DIY expert, but the tool-free assembly was straightforward and hassle-free, almost like setting up a playard.

What's more, the crib's portability is a major plus. It folds compactly and slips into the included storage bag, making it perfect for travel or when we need extra space. And although it didn't come with a mattress, it fits a full-size one, which was exactly what I wanted.

All in all, this crib is a standout product "“ well-designed, safe, stylish, and practical. A solid 5 stars from this happy parent!
