Detroit Area Nursery Furniture Recommendations

So - when did you purchase your furniture - how far along were you?

Thoughts about Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby and JCPenney?
Buy Buy Baby seems more expensive but you can use the 20% off coupons on the furniture and the quality seems pretty good.

Any other stores/shops in the Metro Detroit area?

Thanks!!

Re: Detroit Area Nursery Furniture Recommendations

  • We bought our furniture at Babies R Us.  I got it on Black Friday in 2009, I was about 16 weeks I believe.  I've been extremely happy with it so far.  We have the Baby Italia Eastside collection in Cherry.

  • I got my crib and glider at BRU. They told me the crib would take 1-2 weeks to come in and it ended up taking about 6 weeks. I was not impressed with their customer service while we were waiting for it to be delivered to the store, however it was a TRU/BRU store and I don't think they are as good as a stand alone BRU. My mom bought us the glider at BRU and it was delivered in about a week.  Both were fairly inexpensive and so far the quality seems good (we'll see once there's actually a baby in the crib and I sit in the glider with a baby as well).

  • Oh and I was probably 28-30 weeks when we ordered the crib and we just got the glider a couple weeks ago.  We used a bookcase and 2 dressers we already had for the other furniture in the room.  DH and I got new bedroom furniture for our room and moved the two dressers into the nursery. We figured why does a baby get better furniture than us? :o)

  • There's also House of Bedrooms Kids on Telegraph north of Square Lake road and south of M-59,  They have nice sets there.

    I got mine at Penneys and love it!!!

  • House of Bedrooms Kids.  Since The Baby's Room went out of business, House of Bedrooms Kids is the only place around that carries Munire.  Kind of pricey, but totally worth it.
  • We ordered ours from Buy Buy Baby.  It is Westwood, which Baby Bargains rated as an A.  It is a really nice set and I can't wait to get it in the room!  We ordered it when I was around 15 weeks in case it took 3 months to get in (which was the case with my cousin).  Luckily, it is all in stock, so it is whenever we want it delivered.

    We were going to get the Baby Italia set from BRU, but we did the math on what the pieces we wanted from Buy Buy Baby and what we would need to buy with the Black Friday sale from BRU and the pricing was the same with the 20% off coupons.  Also, the staff at Buy Buy Baby was so helpful.  I could never find anyone to help me at BRU.

    If you do plan to get a set at Buy Buy Baby, they have to be current coupons.  One time I was there, the sales associate told me it could be BBB or Buy Buy Baby current coupons, so we went to purchase everything with a mix.  However,  when the woman was writing our order up, she said it could only be Buy Buy Baby, not BBB.  I got super annoyed and she said, you can just collect the coupons and we will price adjust as you get current Buy Buy Baby ones.  Well, when we checked out, the cashier just scanned all of them so we got the discount that day...thank god.  Other than that, their service has been outstanding.

  • My parents bought the crib from BRU, and we didn't have any issues, we bought the glider at BRU, and the weld was busted on the chair and it was such a hassle to return it and get a new one ordered.  The customer service is good unless there is an issue.  But they finally made it right and gave me a gift card with $40 on it for the trouble.

    We went for adult furniture, since I didn't like that a shorty like me could dust the top of the chest from the set we liked at BBB.  So we ordered furniture from Art Van or some place like that. 

    Everything was ordered around 20 weeks, and didn't take long to get in.

  • We ordered nursery furniture from Buy Buy Baby and are very happy with it.  The prices are just slightly higher than Babies R Us but the selection and quality is much better.  Make sure to order it early because it took ours about 2 months to arrive.
  • I was never a Penney's shopper until I got pregnant and now they've hooked me! We originally found a crib we like at BRU but Baby Bargains gave it a D.  We found a similar, A rated crib at Penneys.  They have sales frequently and offer ship-to-store also. I looked at a ton of reviews before I ordered and saw lots of raves about the customer service.

     We bought our dresser at Ikea.  Baby dressers are so frickin expensive!
