I was also thinking about IKEA dressers to go with this crib! I am worried the Espressos won't match, but not sure they will be that off that you could tell. I am waiting for the crib to get here and taking it to IKEA.
How are you using a $300 off coupon from BRU for and IKEA dresser? Or are you using it for the crib? If so, the crib is like $159 on WalMart.com and they were offering a free matress!
We got the one that they sell at BRU as a set with the Lauren. We got the crib and changing table set at Walmart and then ordered the dresser at BRU when they had the 20% off sale. I think this is the right dresser (sorry, don't know how to make it clicky!)
We have the Graco Lauren Espresso, and we bought a dresser from Wal-Mart.com It was only about $200. We have it put together and it's very sturdy and matches the crib really well in my opinion. Here's the link:

Amazon has free shipping (with Amazon Mom) and it was $150 for us I think? I did reviews on the matress and it wasn't good, so we're opting to get another matress FWIW, we ordered a Storkcraft glider in espresso, and the Graco lauren crib and they are a bit different in color But not horribly different
ETA- Totally didn't mean for any of this to come off snotty If it did I apologize!
Not snotty at all! I will look at Amazon. DH hasn't decided that he loves the espresso color yet, so I am still waiting but if we can get it cheaper, that is always good. I didn't even look at the matress b/c we already got one from a friend who had an extra. how long was it for your shipping from Amazon?

I at first wanted to buy this crib because my name is Lauren At Christmastime last year Target had the crib and changing table for $149.99 and I tried to talk MH into buying it but it was a no go lol. I looked at Ikea for dressers for the crib we did get but my mom ended up buying us something. I prefer Ikea because it's so easy to match their other pieces to each other if you want to buy more than just a dresser, and even the "cheap" stuff we have bought from them has been really good quality. They also sell the piece to add onto the dresser to make it a changing table.
We haven't bought our crib yet, but this is one that is on the top of our list. We still haven't decided if we are going to go with espresso or white. Thanks for all the ideas of matching dresser for the espresso.

Click on the Espresso color, not the oak.
We plan on putting this on the wall above it:

and then obviously having a changing pad on the dresser.

This is what I got from IKEA and it matches great! Granted, I don't have them side by side but they match.
We got exactly the same thing (IKEA Hemnes 3 drawer in expresso). They look great together.
