For my first son we bought Pali furniture...great quality and it has held up well. But for our second son we wanted something a bit more contemporary. We consider our baby furniture an investment to last a lifetime. We buy convertible cribs, so the quality has to be good enough to last for many years as this is the only furniture we plan to buy for them.After looking for months and considering lines such as Baby's Dream, Morigeau, Romina, Munire and Capretti we happened to find AP. I instantly fell in love with the clean lines of the furniture and the fact that you can choose from so many different collections and colors (including knob styles). The construction is top notch, all our pieces are stamped made in Canada. The drawers all have french dovetailing, glide smoothly, and do not wiggle or shake at all when you open and close them (a problem we found with many lines). The crib has 3 height settings and a metal spring platform. I believe the construction is even better than my other son's Pali furniture. We purchased the Shutterfield Convertible Crib, the Large Double Dresser from the Charmer Collection, the Mule Chest also from the Charmer Collection, and the day bed/full bed conversion kits. We got all pieces in the Espresso finish with brushed silver knobs. Total price paid with tax was $2800. We were quoted 8-12 weeks for delivery...it all was in within 7 weeks. Purchased from Babies N Beds in Elmhurst, IL who delivered it to me in Chicago and set it all up for only $175. To say that the furniture is stunning is a serious understatement. The finish is absolutely flawless and the espresso is a deep, rich, chocolate brown. I love this furniture so much I'm considering buying new furniture for the master bedroom from AP Industries!
I am beyond pleased and highly recommend this manufacturer.

AP ind. used to make their stuff in Canada and had decent quality, but they could not afford that any more and since they have gone to the far East, but did not pass on the savings that is why I am giving them a C+, another word nothing impressive.EDITOR'S NOTE: Gary Bryant of AP responded to this review:I am the VP of Sales and Marketing for AP Industries. AP Industries both imports and manufactures cribs/beds however all cases and mirrors are proudly made in Canada in the only 100% ISO certified plant in North America finishing cases goods. It is largely due to the ISO certification that we achieve less than .05% defective. The cost of our products are based on the many options such as 19 finishes and two hardware option offered on every collection in Generations by AP Industries which Generates over 15,000 skus. We offer catalyzed finishes as opposed the inferior nitrocellulose lacquers. While the catalyzed finishes are more expensive they provide protection against water, markers, paints, and fingernail polishâ€ơall products that children use in their rooms. The construction featuring solid birch and veneer provides bedroom furniture that stands the test of time. I have four children and have been a user of AP Industries for over 10 years. Now my children who are located in Winston Salem, Raleigh, Boston, and Tuscaloosa still find the products to be in style, solid working manor, and therefore a value!
