I've narrowed it down b/t these two.
Monterey - in Butternut
Tori - Espresso
My sister has the Tori and I've personally seen it and love it. She lives 4 hours away and doesn't care if we have the same set.
The reviews for both are wonderful. The only complaint I've really found is that the butternut finish for the Monterey is slightly misrepresented and more resembles a cherry.
They are both always on sale, but they are marked down even more (prob for the weekend) plus free shipping through 6/1 - I think it applies to furniture shipped to the store.
Of course, my husband wants the cheaper one, which would be the Tori, but he said he really doesn't care, whichever one I want.
The Monterey has a 5 dr. chest and the Tori a 4dr chest. I'm only doing the crib and chest. I'm not getting the dresser/changer/hutch b/c I've got two other kids and saw really quick that the changer wasn't necessary. Plus, he's got a good size closet and next year when we build, he'll have walk-in closet, so that space isn't needed.
From the descriptions, both cribs are solid wood, but the pieces in the Monterey all wood, whereas the Tori chest/dresser/hutch is wood/veneer.
So, WDYT?
Re: I'm torn b/t two cribs. Help!
I personally like the first choice more.

I also like the first one. Good luck with your decision.
I can't decide on even 2 right now! lol
