Let me start by saying this wooden baby shower crate closet is ADORABLE. The rustic design had me at hello—it’s the kind of piece that makes you go ‘aww’ the moment you unbox it. I used it for my cousin’s gender-neutral baby shower, and guests couldn’t stop snapping photos of it!

The good stuff first: Assembly was surprisingly easy (my sleep-deprived new dad friend put it together in 20 mins while holding a baby!). The wood feels thick and sturdy, and I love that you can leave it natural or paint it—I went with whitewash for a shabby chic vibe. The handles make it portable, and the deep basket held ALL the gifts (onesies, blankets, even a giant stuffed giraffe).

But here’s the tea: Those cute ‘Oh Baby’ letters? Nightmare to paint around—I had to use toothpick precision. The hanging rods are comically short; tiny outfits dangled like they were wearing flood pants. And while mine stayed upright, some reviewers mentioned wobbly stability—definitely don’t overload it.

Pro tip: Hot glue some faux flowers or puff stickers (game changer!) to jazz it up. It killed as a photo backdrop when we draped a garland over the top.

Final verdict? 4/5 stars—it’s more ‘Instagram-worthy prop’ than ‘functional storage’, but for $30? Worth it just to see the mom-to-be’s reaction when she unwraps this Pinterest-perfect piece.
