I stopped using one with my LO's crib because it was too hard to put it in on the lowest setting.

We have one on now but the mattress is on the highest setting.

My mattress is also on the highest setting and we use one. I like the way it makes the crib look more complete, and the skirt we have matches the wall color.

Yes, but the mattress is on the highest setting. The crib skirt already drags on the floor a bit, so once we lower the mattress at all, I'll probably get rid of it.

Yep! But we have our mattress on the Highest setting. When we lower it I want to find a way to keep it on there. Maybe pin it up.

Yup but the mattress is still pretty high up, though not at the highest setting.

Nope. I didn't see the point. One of the easiest ways to cut down on costs.

Yes, I made one and used the tips from YoungHouseLove and used Velcro to make it adjustable when we lower our mattress. Hopefully it's as easy as it sounds.

Yes, but like others, our mattress is currently on the highest setting.

We did, then when DH dropped her crib the last (and final!*tear*) time he didn't put it back on because he said it didn't look right. I'm skeptical, but not skeptical enough to try and wrangle it in there! lol!

@MrsRoo: I need to check out that blog post!

No. Our crib is modern-looking so I think it looks better without a crib skirt.

yes, but I'm going to take it off when we lower her crib to the bottom. She's on the mid setting now and it's all bunched.

yes, but when we moved DH didn't put it on and i've been too lazy to put it back on. we'll probably never put it back on because we need to lower the crib asap!

Here it is!

My MIL is making one out of the same fabric that our curtains are. Since we aren't doing bumpers I think it will help to make it look a little more finished!

We stopped using it once the crib was on the lowest setting. It looked nice on the highest setting, and was less nice after that.

My mom made us one, and we aren't doing bedding or bumpers so I think it sort of completes the crib. It's 3 pieces, one for each side and we are anchoring it with velcro, so we can adjust it as the mattress gets lowered.
