Absolutely love it, completely worth the wait, October 8, 2009

Overall Grade   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: Beautiful, quality furniture that will last!
Cons: Trying to change the height of the crib bed and the long shipping times

I was nervous when I first ordered this furniture because it was going to take 10 weeks to get and what if something was wrong with it? Let me tell you though, it was well worth the wait!

We got the Newport set in Chestnut and it is absolutely beautiful. I love most everything about it. It is pricey and has a long shipping time, but as long as you plan ahead of time then there should not be any problems.

Ours took exactly 10 weeks to arrive and then it was delivered to our house where the store owners set it up. I was disappointed that I couldn't get it from a regular baby store but still worth the effort to drive to find a store.

My only complaint was that it was slighly difficult to lower the crib bed to the lowest position. You have to tigthen the screws with your hands but it is right up against the rails which makes it very difficult. It is also hard to attach a mobile as the crib is very thick.

But I love it and would highly recommend this brand to everyone!

Very Pleased with Munire Newport in Espresso, February 22, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous

Overall Grade   10.00/10  (10)


Pros: Beautiful, well-made furniture
Cons: took 8 full weeks for furniture to arrive

I am 100% pleased with my Munire Newport crib, 6-drawer dresser and mirror in Espresso! The furniture is beautiful and well-made.

Right after I ordered my Munire furniture in November 2008, I came across the reviews on this board. I was surprised by all the complaints, given the high rating in Baby Bargains book. I spent the next 8 weeks worried sick that my furniture was going to come in flawed and that I had wasted a ton of money.

Not so. The furniture is beautiful and without any noticeable flaws. My nursery looks exactly the way I had imagined, and I very pleased!

If I was stretching to find things to complain about, I suppose it did take the maximum time estimate for the furniture to arrive (8 weeks). Also, there was 1 tiny, small scratch on the dresser. It was hardly perceptible. I only noticed it because I was looking for problems, given all the complaints posted on this board. I have no doubt I can easily fix it with one of those touch up pens you get at hardware stores.

For those who love this style and price-point, don't be afraid to purchase Munire based on comments on this board. And don't worry if you already have purchased it.

Very expensive, poor quality, January 8, 2009
Reviewer: Heidi9771 from New Hampshire

Overall Grade   4.00/10  (4)


Pros: Stylish
Cons: Cheap construction, poor quality wood

This is for the majestic line. The dresser, crib, and nightstand looks good far away, but close up the details are shoddy, and the craftmanship is extremely cheap. The dresser top was partical board and bubbled when it got wet. For the price, this is totally not worth it.

This product is a failure!, March 28, 2008

Overall Grade   1.00/10  (1)


Pros: style
Cons: quality of this product, price

bought the Munire Lifetime Crib after reading Baby Bargains and seeing the great rating it received. Instead of lasting a lifetime, this crib has not made it to one year. The finish began peeling off after a few months and scratches and dents extremele easy so I replaced the footboard through my local USA Baby. I then replaced the brackets that have now been recalled because I could tell the crib was not deep enough. I have since replaced the brackets again due to the recall. When I did so, the anchors holding the stabilizer bar to the sides fell off. This makes the crib impossible to use as a toddler bed and dangerous if you have too much side to side movement. I boosted up the bar with books and blocks so my son can sleep in it and I contacted Munire. They went through the USA-Baby from whom I purchased the crib and brought a new replacement crib today. As the company was unloading the crib, pices of the "wood" headboard began falling off. So, I am still out a decent crib for which I paid over $500. I am fed up with Munire, USA Baby, and the fact that I believed the Baby Bargains recommendation. This furniture is absolute JUNK!

Looks great! Not all solid wood, March 30, 2009
Reviewer: DesertDad from AZ

Overall Grade   6.00/10  (6)


Pros: Looks really nice and appears mostly solid
Cons: The shelf in the armoire was split and inside the shelf looks like pressed cardboard not wood

My wife and I purchased the Baby Cache (made by Munire) Heritage crib, combo dresser, and armoire. Our purchase was swayed by the high rating in the Baby Bargians book. The pieces look great but I am disappointed that the pieces aren't all solid wood. The shelf in the armoire was split open when we received the shipment and inside the shelf it has the appearance of pressed cardboard not solid wood. That was a lot of money to spend for a product that is not all solid wood. What other pieces aren't actual wood? Hopefully, the furniture will hold up ok.
