I just got a Baby's Dream Generation Next crib in cherry for the son we are expecting. WOW. I am impressed. My older son has a Munire crib that cost twice as much and now I think I should have gone with two Baby's Dream cribs! The crib is extremely well made. The cherry finish is just gorgeous. The crib looks magnificent in the room. We got the one with the drop-side which will be nice because we have scratched up the Munire one with zippers and belts bending over the railing to pick up and lay down son #1. The crib only cost $399 from USA Baby in Brookfield, WI, which I think is a great deal given the quality of this crib and the fact that it looks as expensive as some higher-priced brands out there. I also really like the fact that it converts into a toddler bed and a full size bed. Incredible value for your money!

We love our Generation Next crib. It is in Cherry. We purchased it at a small mom and pop furniture store for $499. The Antique Black would have been $599. It was easy to assemble, and is very sturdy. However, it is large, make sure you intend to leave it where you set it up at. At first the Drop Bar thing was hard to click into place, but it just needed a few clicks, to loosen things up. The slats are wide and will not fit all crib connecting items, but it is well worth it. It conerts to a toddler then full size bed, and you can tell it will last a long time. The mattress has two settings which to some may seem to low, however, the gate makes it easy to get into no matter the height. Ok well hope this helps.

Pros:
Looks gorgeous yet was affordable
Cons:
You can't hang a mobile

We looked at a TON of cribs at Babies R Us and nothing came close to the quality and look of the Generation Next crib we bought. We also bought the 3 drawer dresser/changer, the crib mattress, and the changing mattress--all for about $950 from a independent retailer. The conversion kit was also included in the price as well as delivery and setup.My son is only 3 months old, but I don't forsee us having any problems with this crib. He has slept soundly in it since we started putting him in his crib @ 6 weeks -- and has slept through the night since 12 weeks! I've moved the crib around quite a bit (trying to decide where to put it!) and had no problems moving it or with scratches. I found that you can't hang a mobile from the crib - but it's not something we were looking to do anyways.I HIGHLY recommend Baby's Dream to anyone looking for quality at an affordable price!

We have the baby's dream omni, purchased for $350 from a local store here in Denver. We love love love this crib. Everyone who sees the crib compliments us on the crib as well, and is very surprised when we tell them how reasonably it is priced.I have always told my husband that I like "clean styles." I guess I rubbed off on him because when we went shopping, he was intent on finding a square and simple, but sturdy, crib. Sounds easy, but this turned out to be a tall order. We preferred stationary cribs to drop side or drop rail cribs, so maybe the straight square styles are more readily available in the other types of cribs? At any rate, we like a stationary crib because with no moving parts, we felt like it would last longer. And it just feels so much steadier -- you can shake it all day long and it doesn't even jiggle. So -- in our search for stationery cribs with a simple design, we were constantly finding curves, scrolls, or intricate detailing. My poor husband was just amazed at how difficult it was to find a basic clean looking crib. I mean, this is the new millennium, right?Finally, we came upon the Baby's Dream Omni crib. Beautiful!!! And it was more affordable than just about every other stationery crib that we looked at, to boot! The wood has a rich warm hue.We considered buying the matching dresser, but the drawers did not have dovetail joints, which was a deal breaker for us.Our baby is not yet sitting up so I can't comment on how well the crib does under the daily usage of a more mobile/active baby. We're feeling pretty confident on that front, though.For extra money (I believe $100) we can also buy the rails to turn this crib into a bed. It seems that most people do not use the bed option for their cribs. I can barely plan tomorrow, much less several years from now. When the time comes, if I think about it, I'll come back and update this review with that info.

we bought the crib and a double dresser for around $800. we got it in the Honey (almost a natural pine finish) since our local store had it on stock. We really like the sturdiness of both pieces. Serenity crib does not have any moving parts - no drop gates or rails. It may be a challenge for a shorter parent to put their child down if they are asleep.The crib converts from a crib to a toddler bed without any extra parts. You do need to purchase the rails in order to convert it to a full size bed. We are very happy with our purchase.
