We weren't planning on having a bassinet/cradle but our little man arrived early with some issues so we decided to have one.

I really like it's simplicity, it is somewhat low but it's given us no personal concerns on that.
It's really light, I move it from room to room to suit me so I can hear our boy as we don't have a monitor and the nursery isn't quite complete yet.
It also rocks slightly from side to side without being unstable which is nice for settling on occasion.

We love ours! But also have no comparison..
