We haven't ordered our furniture yet. We may or may not be moving
within the next couple of months, so we've sort of been putting it off.
This is of course driving me crazy because I want nothing more than to
start working on a nursery. We've decided that if we haven't found a
house we like by December 1, we're replacing the guest bedroom with a
temp nursery. Anyhow, I was reading my Baby Bargains book and they
suggest ordering around 25 weeks because it can take 10-12+ weeks to
come in at times. Are you freaking kidding me?! That's crazy!

I also posted this on facebook, but since I know many of you aren't members of the group, I'm copying it to our board.

So, my question for those that already have their furniture or have
ordered it, how long did it take to come in? Where did you order from?
We're trying to decide if we should order now just to be safe, rather
than waiting until we're in the new house. Thoughts?

Do you know that you'll be moving for sure [just not sure when]?
If you know you'll be moving but just not sure if it's before or after LO I'd suggest getting a PnP to use until you finalize your plans. You'll probably want a PnP anyways so that's a good option to use for a little while.
Our daughter will be in a PnP for 6 months because we're moving in June and we only have a 1BR here so there's no room for a crib.

If you choose to get a crib, I would stay away from particle board, since they aren't meant to be taken apart and put together multiple times. Look for something that doesn't have the quarter-turn bolts.
We ordered mine off of Amazon and got it in about one week. 10-12 weeks seems excessive!
Yes! We're definitely moving. We were house hunting a couple months back and even put a couple offers in. However, we then learned that the type of loan we were getting required us to sell our current home, which we definitely don't want to do. We want to rent out our current home.
So, long story short, we had to change the type of loan we were getting, which took longer to get things situated and approved. We're now ready to begin looking again, with the conventional loan, we're just not sure how long it's going to take us to find a place we love. We don't want to settle. So, yes, we're basically positive we'll be in a new home within the next 6 months max. We're hoping to have moved before Eliana's arrival though.
We own a 3bed/3bath townhome now. So, we have technically have space. The problem is that the room next to us upstairs is the guest bedroom and the downstairs room is a workout room. We'd need to move the furniture out (and store), then move the nursery stuff in. Either way, we need to clear out space for her stuff anyway - clothes, all the baby items, etc.
I think we'll wait a bit longer for the furniture. Maybe we'll know a bit more within the next month or so.

We haven't ordered ours yet.
We need to use the room as a guest room until the end of November, so we will be transitioning then. We are planning to order from Babies R Us. They have numerous sets that deliver within 1-2 weeks.

I think it depends on where you want to buy it from. We got ours from a furniture store. My mom ordered it for us (she's the best) the first week of September, and it will be coming some time in the middle of November.
But it sounds like you can get a lot of really nice stuff really quickly from online ect. Like all furniture purchases: depends on the source.
Ohhh I looove me some Amazon. I hadn't even thought about buying furniture from them. I'll definitely look into it!
