Babi Italia Scandi dropside crib - Excellent value, February 29, 2008

Pros: Modern style crib at a reasonable price
Cons: Nothing really

My husband and I didn't like the look of traditional cribs. We live in a modern apt, and wanted modern baby furniture. We also didn't want one of those convertible cribs (seems like a scam to get you to spend more). Furthermore, we really wanted a crib with a drop side rail so that my mother (whom will be the primary babysitter) can easily lift the baby out as she's quite short. Now, if you've searched around for modern style cribs, you'll know that they tend to be very expensive with no drop-side rails. So, we were pleasantly surprised when we came across this crib in Babies R Us for only $400. It looks just like the other more expensive modern style cribs and it has a drop-side rail!

We put together the crib two nights ago and love it. It's very well-made and stable, and the quality of the materials were excellent. My husband who is a stickler for good quality furniture was impressed with it. Oh, and it was relatively easy to assemble.

I highly recommend this crib to anyone who wants a modern looking crib that is affordable.

Very solid and great looking!, August 10, 2005

Overall Grade   9.00/10  (9)


Pros: Solid furniture, well made, great looking
Cons: Expensive; took 16 weeks to receive

We recently purchased the Bonavita Calloway Lifestyle Crib and the Calloway Combo and Hutch. We are really happy with the purchase. The furniture arrived very well packed, no scratches or problems at all (and I'm REALLY picky!).

We chose this furniture because it felt so solid in the store, and we are even more happy with it in the baby's room. Its definitely an investment, but it will last for as long as we need it to! It did take about 16 weeks to receive all 3 pieces (2 of them were in at 12 weeks), so definitely plan ahead!

Quality pieces to last through several babies!, August 10, 2005

Pros: Very sturdy, well made and beautiful!
Cons: Tricky lowering crib rail.

We purchased the Bonavita crib in the Pamela style in antique white for our first DD. The crib cost $500.00 We also purchased the coordinating dresser and replaced the knobs to have a more feminine look. The dresser was purchased as a floor model sale for $295.00 Both pieces are now being used for our second DD and look as pretty as they did for our first! I really like that the crib does not have plastic rails screwed into the side to attach the rail. There are no exposed unattractive parts as I've seen on other cribs of similar price from places like Pottery Barn. Overall I couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery furniture and would definitely buy it again.

Excellent qualiry, worth every penny, May 25, 2007

Overall Grade   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: Sturdy, stylish, classic design, excellent quality
Cons: Pricey

Purchased a dresser and crib abotu 3 years ago and it still looks like it is brand new. Our 2 yo is VERY hard on her furniture and her crib and dresser have held up perfectly. I would highly recommend spending the extra $ and getting Bonavita products.

The only con I have, and this goes for many of the convertable crib lines, is that the products are very pricey. Also, you pay extra for toddler rails, and convertable full bed rails. Really adds up and can break the bank before you know it.

Modern style furniture Babi italia-contemporary white, October 30, 2007

Pros: styling, price
Cons: crib seems a little wobbly

This furniture was special ordered through Babies R Us and arrived early. We love the changing table(combo), but the attachment pieces for the "hat" were missing from the box. DH will need to purchase our own @ home improvement store. The changing table seems very sturdy. The armoire is attractive and provides lots of storage. Although the shelf is adjustable, I wish it could be lowered even more than it can go. 0-3 clothes are hitting the shelf even on the lowest setting. It seems sturdy, however. The crib seems like it could be more sturdy but is beautiful. Overall, we really like this furniture and really like the styling for the price. We are pleased with our purchase.
