DaVinci Cribs

Pockety

Hi Ladies,

I'm popping over from June 2011 (posted this there too, and was advised to seek your help!) and was hoping you could give me some advice -

Does anyone have a DaVinci crib, or know anyone who does?  They look great online - solid wood with nice finishes, nice-looking matching dressers/changing tables, fairly reasonably priced.  However, I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them in-store, so I've never actually seen one.  BRU, Amazon, and Target all sell them, but online-only.  They seem to get great reviews (the one I like is the Kalani style); just looking for anyone else's experiences. 

Thanks!

We have a DaVinci crib and it's been really nice.  However, according to my DH, it was a PITA to put together, lol.  It's held up really well, DS slept in it through his second birthday, and now we'll be using it for this new baby.

We have the kalani in espresso. It was easy to put together and is a nice solid piece.  Haven't had the baby yet so can't speak to how well it holds up.  My brother and sister-in-law have it in white and it still looks great after over a year.

We just put together our DaVinci Parker crib and while we haven't used it yet, I love it   I was frustrated too that I couldn't see it in person, but I put it on my Amazon baby registry because I figured that would be the easiest place to return it if need be.  Thankfully there's no need!

We got the DaVinci Kalani in ebony and just put it up over the weekend.  It looks really nice and seems very sturdy.  DH had no problem putting it together.  I only had to help hold a few pieces and it went up in well under an hour.  We also got ours on Amazon.

 I have heard that while the DaVinci cribs are very nice and a good bargain to stay away from the rest of their nursery furniture because it isn't as high quality for the price you pay.

After reading many excellent reviews, we ordered the DaVinci Kalani crib, dresser and changing table in the Espresso finish and I love it.  The finish is beautiful and it all seems solidly built, although it has not gotten any real use yet until LO arrives.

FYI...I ordered it from simplybabyfurniture.com where I got FREE shipping and NO tax, which saved a bundle!  They also had great excellent service.

We bought this DaVinci set, https://www.simplybabyfurniture.com/0263085253.html for our DS, born in March 2009.  I was impressed with the quality.  It's held up well.  I have another DS on the way in March 2011 and I bought the DaVinci Richmond crib/furniture in expresso.  As another person said, we bought it from simplybabyfurniture.com and had a great experience.  That's why I went back for the 2nd one.

Good luck!

We have the DaVinci Emily  in cherry, crib and changing table and have been using it for 2 years almost and it has held up really well. The crib is better quality than the simple changer, which cracked when we put it together! But overall for the price, I say it is a very good value.

The DaVinci Emily is a Consumer Reports "Best Buy". If you join Amazon Mom (it's free) and order from there, you get free shipping, free returns and no tax. I think this is the one we'll get, though I also like the look of the Kalani as well.
