Nursery Furniture

Where is everyone or getting or already bought thier nursery furniture from?  I want solid wood pieces that will grow with the baby from baby-toddler-teen.  So far I found Babies Dream line which is solid wood at a store called Sugarplum Dreams however antique black is not an available color and that is the finish I was really hoping for.

Anyone, ideas?

I went to sugarplum dreams last week and really liked a munire crib. my DD crib is from Babies 1st Furniture, brand is creations:

i'm not sure what 2nd crib i will purchase yet... JC Penney also has some good crib selections.

We've not even started really but I did go and take a peek at stuff at Baby Depot in Burlington Coat Factory. I wasn't really overly impressed because we have stuff we are going to use - like a dresser and a night stand - that are currently just being used sort of in our living room as we got ourselves a brand new bedroom set a while back (gorgeous thing that is very vintage 1920s style) and the stuff we had before from when we got married we just couldn't get rid of. It is a light wood stain on it and we want stuff that will go with it. The problem was there were only 2 sets that matched the color but so won't go with the style. I've not looked anywhere else. We may be inheriting a crib from my best friend - it is a bit of an antique as it was from her grandmother and not only did her sister and she sleep in it but her three kiddos, two nieces, and 2 godchildren. She gave it to her niece who is also pregnant but the next morning her mother (the great-grandma to be) went and bought her a new one. SO if we get that then we will only need really a changing table.

Here is my advice- take it however you want

We splurged on a Munire convertible crib (thankyouverylittle Baby Bargains.) It's beautiful, solid wood, and is black (which for some reason is more expensive than any other color. And of course I had to have black!! haha)

We also splurged on 2 really nice dressers, a tall one and a short, longer one, both Munire.

I am very happy with our dressers... she'll have them forever, there's nothing "babyish" about them.

I wish we would have gone with a cheaper crib- she has chewed the top of it and it looks terrible.  We'll be able to refinish it... but still.

My reasoning is this- I really don't think I'll use the crib once I make her room a "big girl room."  I'll either put her in a twin bed (so I couldn't use the crib) or a queen- I just think doubles are pointless... so I will never use the headboard and the footboard since they are made for a double bed.

So I'm glad we bought high quality furniture... but I wish I would have bought a cheaper crib...

Oh, and of course, the place were we did buy our furniture went out of business... which is too bad bc they had lovely things

So my advice- buy a good dresser or two and save money by buying an inexpensive crib.  All cribs have to pass rigorous tests to make sure they're safe... so it's not a matter of one being safer than another.. it's more about solid wood, type of wood (pine vs. walnut) etc...

Have fun shopping!

Ditto on what Lauren said about getting a cheaper crib. Just don't get any drop-side crib! Those keep getting re-called. We bought a mid-line price drop-side crib from BRU. It's been ok.  The drop-side actually got stuck in the "up" position, so it's really not working - but I'm not messing with it for fear that" it'll get stuck in the "down" position!!

We have a full sized bed in our guest room that will become DS's bed when he outgrows his crib. We will just put the matress on the floor to make it into a "toddler" bed.

Great advice thankyou!!  BTW..Sugarplum Dreams on Basse sells Munire.  I loved thier furniture..  Babies Dream is very comprable but a little cheaper.  the crib alone was $569.00 I think I will order the double dresser with hutch and see if I can match a cheaper crib from BRU.

We got our cribs from BRU and are going to get a dresser separately. We'd like to try to keep the girls in the same room for a while so we're just planning to get twin beds for them while they're young until they move into their own rooms when their older.

If you really want the Antique Black, I'd call the manufacturer at 1-800-tel-crib. They might have some left at their manufacturing site. They did a few months ago when I was looking for furniture for DD. Their Espresso finish is REALLY dark, if you haven't seen it in person, you should...  I was going to get that until I found out I was having a girl, then I decided to go sweet and girly with a white set.

I got my nursery furniture sets from aBaby.com. They had a good collection of nursery furniture ? both wooden and iron. Since this furniture is available in multiple colors, you can get the one you want. Also they have good BBB ratings and 10 years of customer satisfaction. You can visit their website and browse through their products to see if you like something.
