Pros:
Classic Jenny Lind Crib
Cons:
Weirdish wood
|
|
I was a little annoyed when I was researching Jenny Lind cribs that PBK and LON won't tell you who manufactures their cribs. I ended up buying a Land of Nod Jenny Lind crib because I liked the finish (antique white.... sort of a distressed off-white) and when itwas delivered, the box said Million Dollar Baby.The crib was really easy to assemble. Way easier than your average IKEA purchase. The crib is sturdy and quite nice-looking, with a smoothly operating drop-side. We paid about $400 for it. We felt like this crib was a compromise between what you would pay $200 for at BRU versus spending $700 on a crib at a baby furniture store. It has less curvy legs than the PBK version, and has casters. My only real complaint is that the wood is Rubberwood -- some kind of tropical wood that's a bit soft to my taste. Admittedly, our crib does not get a lot of use. We're still co-sleeping with DS at 6 months.

After researching which convertable crib to buy for DD #2 I decided on the Emily crib by Da Vinci. This is the one I loved the most and kept coming back to despite the bad reviews of customer service and bad shipping. I bought it from Amazon for $225 including shipping. It shipped the next day and was at my door within a week. I couldn't have been happier with it. I had a trouble buying from a small baby store last time around and had to wait 2 times for one side of the crib to come in and didn't want to go through that again. Thankfully after reading bad reviews I am so happy I bought this crib. My husband just put it up and said nothing about bad directions so not sure how they were. All the pieces were perfect and it is very sturdy. I would highly recommend this crib.

We purchased the Anastasia crib for $389 (incl. CA tax) from a well regarded local baby store. The crib arrived about 2 weeks earlier than the store had indicated, which was a nice surprise. The pieces were well packaged, and arrived to us in very good condition.Overall, we are delighted with the crib, and very pleased with how it looks in the room - our baby hasn't arrived yet, so this review isn't as hands on as it could be!Assembly of the crib was something of a challenge. The first issue came up in the first step of the instructions, when we discovered that the pre-drilled holes in the headboard, were not deep enough to accept the screws for the drawer guides. Not a huge issue, but irritating. We ended up just drilling proper holes, but were annoyed, since the first page of the instructions has the warning, "Do not use electric drills or power screw drivers" in bold type. (we found that ignoring this particular advice made things go much smoother and faster!!)The instructions were also not clear in terms of the best way to install the drawer guides on the drawer to make sure that the drawer front doesn't interfere with the drop side. Fortunately, the guides are drilled into the particle board sides of the drawer, so this fix was pretty easy to make.Another irritating item - step 11 of the directions recommends you use a piece of the cardboard packing material in between your mattress and the metal spring frame - not a bad idea, but a warning on the cardboard box would have saved us a trip back to the dumpster to retreive it, as we'd already thrown out the packaging materials before we began assembly. Now that it's put together, the crib looks great, and feels very sturdy. The drop side isn't as quiet as I remember it being in the store, but that could well be an assembly issue on our part, which we'll investigate before the baby gets here. Assembly challenges aside, we're pleased with the piece and confident that it will meet our needs nicely for several years.

I am EXTREMELY happy about my purchase. We bought the Da Vinci Roxanne Crib & 5-level dresser in Espresso from BRU. I knew going into my purchase that this was an online retailer only and saw that Baby Bargains marked it down due to customer service issues mainly. We are working with an extremely small room for the nursery (converted office) and we needed the least amount of furniture with maximum storage and MDB provided this for an excellent price! The dresser has 7 deep drawers and we also use the drawer under the crib as well. The item was originally out of stock on BRU, so I waited until it came back in stock before I placed my order. The wood is a beautiful color and my husband did not have much trouble putting it together. It is very sturdy and the perfect size for a small room. The wood does scratch easily, so we were extra careful, but at the end of the day its baby furniture, its going to get scratched. The crib is very study and safe and the dresser is as well. Nothing wobbles or feels shaky at all. The crib had all the safety, functionality (& much needed additional storage) that I wanted and needed. Overall this was an excellent value and fulfilled all my safety and functional concerns.

I did a ton of research and looked at all sorts of different brands of furniture. I was close to purchasing a crib and dresser from Munire, but finally decided that I would be less upset if a $300 crib got scratched and dented than if a $650 crib got scratched and dented, which I figure is inevitable. I was somewhat worried about ordering from MDB based on mixed reviews, but in the end it came down to price. I don't regret my decision. We ended up purchasing the Annabelle full convertible crib and 4 drawer dresser in Espresso. We ordered the crib from a local store, Once Upon a Child, since the Annabelle convertible cannot be found anywhere online. The store assured me it would take 6 to 8 weeks for the crib to arrive, but it came in just 4 weeks. The dresser we ordered from babycenter.com since they had a much better price with free shipping and the store was not willing to price match. The box had some damage, but the dresser was packed well and was unscathed.Both pieces assembled easily and look very nice. The dresser drawers glide very smoothly. The crib is very sturdy. The only drawbacks are of course that it is pine and therefore nicks and dents somewhat easily. However since I plan on our son using this furniture until he goes to college, I figure nicks and dents are unavoidable, no matter how hard the wood.
