We got our Baby Mod Cadence in Ebony (after months of wondering if they would stock it again!!) We ordered it site to store and it only took less than one week to get from California to Maryland- which I thought was pretty reasonable. The package was i great condition when we got it- my dad and my husbad put it together in about an hour and a half (my dad is a builder therefore veryyyy precise in everything like that). We love it! It is even better in person than it looks in the pictures. It is very sturdy and well made and the price was terrific.
The only thing is that I wish that it came with hardware caps for the outside front only- I wouldnt want them in where they could fall out and get to baby, but it would look better if the screws weren't exposed. I think many cribs are like that. Oh well, other than that we love it.
Re: Baby Mod Cadence
Don't worry. More than once when I wanted to order ours, it was out of stock, but it always came back pretty quickly. Did you sign up to be notified by email when they have it again?
I agree, at first it bothered me, but now I don't even notice...
