What crib did you buy and why? IS IT STURDY?

We got an iron crib and the reason is quite simple....IT IS MADE IN AMERICA!!!!   All of the recalled cribs were made in China (of course) with plastic/junky pieces.  We got a solid/american made iron crib that we are comfortable and confident having.  Most iron cribs are very pricey, but we got this for $500 which is quite a deal for a handmade crib.  Worth every penny.  It is traditional, beautiful, and sturdy.

We got the Straight Up Crib from Land of Nod for the same reason - made in the USA of real wood, not particle board/MDF. It's not a cheap crib, but we felt it was good value, because we aren't concerned about safety or quality, and we are happy to support American manufacturing.

I would have considered the Ikea Gulliver crib, as they are supposed to be a great low-cost option, except that I really wanted dark wood AND the Gulliver cribs are SO LOW to the ground. My husband and I are tall, and that just wasn't going to fly with us. We have friends who have it, and I was shocked when I saw how low they are.

We got the Hartford furniture set from JC Penny in Cherry. We got it because I love the set. It's not expensive like some of the ones from BRU. It is very sturdy and was not hard to put together.
