Unfortunately, carless and it's "local pick-up only" in Michigan for the awesome green settee.

I actually purchased one of the Mint In Box Vintage Solid Wood Cribs mentioned above. I set it up exactly as pictured above and in accordance with the assembly instructions, and it collapsed. The mattress support and (gasp!) my two week old daughter fell to the ground. I was mortified! I contacted the seller who responded with the following:

Hi,
We apologize that you had a problem with the crib. We will contact Fedex and get a call tag for pick up.
Thank you,

When a FedEx driver arrived at my house I was told that the crib was going back to FedEx's facility to be inspected for damage... Seemed like the seller was trying to blame FedEx for the defective crib (boo).

It has been thirteen days since the seller first contacted me and still no refund.
