Bonavita Crib-Metro Collection

Anyone else have this crib? DH and I agree on this crib and I was wondering if others have it and like it. It got an A- in Baby Bargains so I am strongly considering it. Did you buy the conversion kit if you bought this crib?

I do not have that crib, but I just wanted to say that I love the style of it!

We just ordered the Bonavita Peyton one this weekend, I love it. It's going to be 12 weeks before it comes in, but we found a store that carried that line so we were able to see it in person. That whole line seems really nice, and sturdy too

I bought the Cabana collection for my son three years ago with the conversion kit and we love it. We are about to convert it back to a crib for his little brother. Bonavita is great quality furniture.

The only thing we had problems with was on our dresser. I used the dresser as a changing table and the finish is a bit scraped away from where my jeans button or belt rubbed the wood at every diaper change for two years. I would imagine any wood finish would do the same thing though. I have a touch up pen that I can use to fill it in if I ever get over my laziness.

We ordered that crib. It should be in by the end of the month. We ordered it in licorice. We did buy the conversion kit for a full size bed as well as the toddler bar. We also bought the nightstand because we figured it'd be good for nursing but also good once DD is older and has an actual bed. I would recommend buying the converter kits now if you are thinking of converting it later in case they discontinue a color or style.

Ditto - This is why we bought the conversion kit at the same time as the crib. We stored the six foot by six inch by six inch box in our garage for the first two years.

We also bought the nightstand to go with the bed. We put it in the corner of the room and used the toy chest that was also part of our collection as a table for next to the glider.

Thanks ladies.

We went with the Bonavita Hudson and agree with PP's, in person, the whole Bonavita line seemed a lot sturdier and nicer than many others I've seen on display.

We also went ahead and bought the convserion kit; I didn't want to risk it being unavailable/discontinued if we waited until we needed it.
