How sturdy is this crib? When you shake it does it rattle or move? My one year old stands in his crib and shakes the rail & in some cribs it will move

This crib is built very well, the rail does not move because it is screwed into the side rails the only thing that is adjustable is the mattress

Its sturdy thought u just have to check once in awhile to make sure all screws are tight. My 2year old has a graco crib it does the same thing.

It is sturdy does not rattle but it is made of a light wood so depending on how strong your one year old is the crib could move

Very sturdy. My 16 month old stands up and tries to shake it but it doesn't move at all. It's heavy also.

I've had this bed frame for a while now & there's no squeaking or shaking, it's very sturdy & secure. Hope this helps.

The crib is very light-weight and easy to assemble. It very stable. My husband and I purchased this for our son and daughter-in-law - first grandchild. They are very pleased with the crib.

I had the same problems as Patrick Calahan and Kristin1724. I emailed back and forth with the manufacturer all day today, and was informed "there will still be a gap on the toddler rail." I've since reported this crib to the CPSC (http://www.saferproducts.gov/Default.aspx) because I believe that the design of the converted toddler bed with the rail gap is unsafe. If I had know about this gap before choosing the crib, I would never have chosen the Babyletto Mercer. I now need to purchase a toddler bed for my 22-month-old.

Yes, the legs are very sturdy and stable. The legs can be locked in the down position by rotating a metal tab on one of the legs, which attaches the legs to each other. When latched together, the legs do not move at all. Also, the legs click into the up position, so they don't rattle in either the up or down position - and the other moving parts (upper and lower adjustable vent openings) have a snug friction fit, so nothing rattles. You will like it!

The one I had (and returned) did not rattle at all. I suspect yours is defective. One comment not picked up by the "Reviews" is that it's not easy/quick to release it from the window compared to the redline because of the position of the release button. Lot of deign/eng flaws.

It does move:) My daughter loves hers. It is a little cheaper quality that I thought it would be but not bad for the price. We have had ours for about a year and hasn't torn up yet.

I have a child who is one using it now. It is very safe as a crib but I would not use it as a playen as it would not hold up.

I think it's pretty sturdy. better quality than I expected. Mine is at the foot of my bed and I would be comfortable with a toddler using it as support. I just do not know about it being okay without being against something.

My daughter loved this until she was about 6 months old - she slept through the entire night. This model does not vibrate (only rocks manually)and I wish it did. It would have made things even a little easier. Hope this helps...

Our crib has a metal bottom and it works fine. Our crib is slightly scratched on the surface where the rail touches it because my son shakes the railing.

My 32 lb toddler still sleeps on it. I haven't had any problems. Sorry! This is the second mattress we bought. Is your crib base good? Maybe not enough support there.

I think it is sturdier than that. I really like the crib. We use it with our 13 month old grandson, and he is heavy, too.

At first this bed didn't squeak. I have had it about 10 months and about a month ago it started squeaking when I roll over. Within a week the squeaking became noticeable with every movement. We've checked the screws and everything is tight.

Where does it say that it can only hold 50lbs? If that's the case, I am in trouble. Mine is already converted to the toddler bed and it is amazing, my little man loves it. I will caution you though, the paint is not the highest quality and, although it looks great, it is very easy for young ones to gnaw it off.However, it is easily remedied by adding proper crib padding along the rails. For my little one, I put a little lemon juice where he kept chewing and he never did it again!:)

Good question. My son is only 10 months so he hasn't tested it that well. He stands up in it but isn't too angry yet. I think it's fairly sturdy, especially for how light it is but I can't be sure. Its frame isn't connect to the sides of the bed like a pack and play so that may or may not be better for you. I think it would make it harder to knock over.Sorry I can't be more helpful

It doesn't creak, but it is not very sturdy in my opinion. It came looking a lot more clunky than in the picture. You self assemble and the wood May not fit perfectly to the other pieces causing for a not so sturdy build.
