Nurseries and Baby Gear

Recommend your crib!

Hi ladies!  We found a couple of cribs that we liked this past weekend.  However, Baby Bargains says not to buy a drop-side crib (which doesn't affect us anyway - we're both tall people).  The second one we liked was Baby's Dream Serenity, but when I measured it out in the nursery at home - it looks like it will be huge in the room.

Anyone have any suggestions?

  • We got the Munire Old World Newport crib.  It has a relatively small footprint since it isn't one of the convertible styles and isn't drop side.

  • We ordered the Sorelle Vista crib and combo dresser last week- should arrive in December-ish.

  • We ordered the Pali Wendy crib. It's a beastly looking crib!

  • We got the Graco Lauren Classic (the non-dropside version of the Graco Lauren).  When we were first looking at cribs, we really liked the look of the Baby's Dream Serenity and the Munire Urban, but like you said, they're both rather large cribs.  Our nursery is pretty small, so we were worried that anything too large would just dominate the room.  We ended up going with the Graco, and we love it!  It's very solidly constructed, and exactly the right size for us.  :)

  • We got the Munire Urban in white.  It is not here yet, but I can't wait for it to be!  Munire is highly rated in Baby Bargains.

  • I got a Munrie Bristol and it is pretty large, but I love it!

  • Based on Baby Bargains and just plain style preference, we went with the Munire Essex crib. It arrived last week and so far I'm loving it.
  • We got the Ikea Leksvik crib. We have the Leksvik bedroom set in our bedroom and we love their furniture. I absolutely love the stain! It's pretty cheap, it's stationary, and it'a smaller crib so it won't dominate the room. It also converts to a toddler bed and Baby Bargains likes it too! The only downside is that it doesn't come with a mattress.

  • We got the Babi Italia City Classic Eastside  and I love it.  It is a traditional crib (w/o dropside) so it doesn't turn into a fullsize bed.  You can turn it into a toddler bed if you like.
  • We have the Munire Essex for our son.  His nursery is relatively small, but it still looks great.  Good luck!
  • We got the Skylar crib from PBK. Although modern in style, they also carry many that aren't, and no longer use the drop side.
  • I just looked this up online and it doens't look much bigger than most standard/convertible cribs out there. Was the 54" length a problem in your room or the 44" width? The width is a bit bigger than most. Length is about the same.

    I have a tiny second bedroom as well and now we will probably be getting the Davinci Emily mini-crib. It's 40" x 28" as opposed to 54 x 40 like most were

  • sorelle "city lights" line in espresso.  it's very understated and modern and i love it!  the hardwood is nice too...  it won't succumb to teeth marks or scratches/dents as quickly.

  • You may have just saved me, Bliss611!  The brochure that we picked up from the local store had 54" as the depth (44" length).  I'm guessing the brochure was just wrong.  Thank you!!

     Definitely double check my #s since I just did a quick search. But most seem to work that way. If the standard size is a problem - definitely look at the Davinci Emily. I loved it in the store.

    Only thing annoying about mini's is finding choices for bedding.
