Nursery Furniture--Opinions please!

This weekend we went shopping for baby furniture and I'm stuck between 2 options!  They are both convertible cribs but if/when we have more babies we will just convert it back to a crib~so I want something that would work for boys AND girls.  Initially I was thinking white, but now think that dark wood may have more long-term appeal plus it really makes bedding colors "pop."  Also, I feel it lets me get away with a little more stylized crib but still have it be boyish.  On the Bellini crib, I like the little details, the acorn leaf accents and the spindles in the front.  The Natart crib is very classic and meets extra environmental safety standards.  Take a look and tell me which you prefer!  If anyone has either of these brands, I'd love any type of review/feedback on them as well.  Thanks so much!

    I like them both, but think the Avalon is a little more generic.  To me the Mercedes looks more for a girl to me.

    I like the avalon. It looks more gender neutral to me. This first one is a little maw maw looking, but that is just my opinion.

    I prefer the avalon WAY more. The first one looks more antiquey and girly.

    They're both nice, but the second one (Avalon) seems like it would work better for a boy or girl.  I think the first one seemed pretty girly. 
    Lots of love to my BFPB, Squishy622 <3

    Agree.  Obviously the baby doesn't care what the crib looks like, but the flower detailing on the first one would not make me think it's for a boy.

    I like the avalon better b/c it seems more unisex

    I think the Bellini is very pretty and delicate for a girl.If you are looking for a more unisex friendly I would go with the Natart. Both very nice cribs though.

    They are both a little too much for me but I like the Natart one better. The Bellini one is way too fancy for my tastes.
