I am debating between the two. I definitely want antique/cream furniture & both come in these colors). Looking for something that is a classic. For each I am looking at a nightstand, double dresser, &lifetime/ grow with me crib.Any thoughts suggestions?

 Thank you:)

    I have Stanley Young America furniture for my daughter and while it's only been about 2 years, I love it.  It's solid and well made.  I have the Caroline collection but I didn't get a crib (I had the one I used for my son).  We got a double dresser and 2 twin beds, both in the antique white.  I highly recommend the furniture. 
    3 IUI's and 2 IVF's later- Brady arrived. Born at 36 weeks after PUPPS and pre-e/HELLP.
    IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again

     I'm glad you are a Young America owner because I was also concerned about the durability of the sliding drawers. A lot companies are now making the drawers that slide a lot easier with the metal slide/gliders that make the drawers retract or slide back in easily. That is what I am concerned about.

    I can see that being a concern.  The drawers definitely aren't as smooth as some other furniture I have but we don't use the drawers 20 times a day where it might get annoying or wear out quickly.  You might have to ask teenagers- they abuse furniture.  That's really the only way to know if it will hold up.  But so far, we haven't had any problems.

    I know what you mean about the drawers though- my kids bathroom vanity has the drawers that dont even slam shut- they stop about a finger's length away and then slowly close- you know which ones I'm talking about?  I like those a lot for kids.  I wonder if they even make those for dressers.

    Both my girls have munire bedrooms sets. It's nice qaulity. Drawers are smooth and glide easy. All their furniture still looks very nice.  We get a lot of compliments. We have converted the beds from cribs. One is converted into a toddler bed with the half rail & the other is converted a the full size bed. I do remember munire took awhile to get in, 8weeks I believe. Remember to buy the conversion kit for the full size bed in the beginning just in case they ever discontinue your set.  Beautiful furniture. I've been pleased with it.

    Thanks, I did by the conversion kit when I purchased the crib and dresser on the spot for my son. I was smart enough to think that if they discontinue the set I would be out of luck. He got  Pali which I also recommend, they just do not have a style that I would like for DD.

    I don't mean to alarm you but I used to work around elementary school kids. Some 7 and 8 year olds can be rough on stuff. I was rough on some stuff as a child. The drawers also get abused by putting alot of stuff in them. The heavier the drawer the more pressure can cause damage over time. I had that happen with my set as a young girl. Stuff made in the past 20 years is not made like stuff made 40-50 years ago. I do want to mention that the Caroline set you got is very pretty:)
