That's the crib we have. Thank goodness we don't use the dropside now that it's a toddler bed. I still have to remember to check it when I get home though.

Kaisa: warn your friends that the crib they got from us is this one...

It's only defective if you put it together with the dropside hardware upside down. It was a design flaw that allowed for the drop side to be put together both the correct way AND the wrong way...meaning the top was screwed to the bottom and vice versa.....

I just read this:
"CPSC is also aware of two incidents that occurred when the drop-side was correctly installed with older style hardware, though the upside down installation greatly increases the risk of failure."
