My husband and I ordered a Chloe convertible crib, full bed conversion set and dresser and were told the delivery time would be 4-6 weeks. Now, 8 weeks later we are being told that the crib will not be delivered for another 7 to 10 weeks -- well after my estimated delivery date. How does it take 15-18 weeks to assemble a crib and dresser?!The reason we went with Dutalier was because of their excellent reputation - I would warn others never to make that same mistake.

We bought our Dutailier glider based on good reviews we'd heard about them. What a disappointment! We got the model # 911 120 003 00000 deluxe glider with recline and the ottoman for $800. We used it for nursing and rocking our first baby. We liked the glider initially but in 6 months time the glider started to creak and groan whenever we'd use it--needless to say it was tough putting our baby to sleep with the noise! We checked and tightened the screws but the problem was in the joints where the spindles of the glider where glued to the frame--there was nothing we could do about it.Also, the cushions can't be washed--they have to be professionally cleaned. Very inconvenient specially when the glider is marketed for use in nurseries--where spit ups, pee and poop are everyday fare. We also found the seat cushion to be too hot. Often it got very uncomfortable sitting in the glider because my back and legs which where in contact with the cushion would sweat a lot while the rest of my body was cold! I contacted Dutailier about these issues but apart from being told that my comments had been forwarded to the department concerned, I have not heard anything else from them. For the price we paid, I was expecting better quality and customer service. We're very disappointed.

My parents ordered us the sleigh crib in cherry before my daughter was born. It does convert to a toddler bed. We ordered the matching dresser. I have been so thrilled with both pieces! When I originally decided on EG, it was given a high rating in the book. By the time we got it, the book had been revised and it received a C rating. I was so concerned but realized it was due to the fact that the company was combining with Dutalier. Both of my pieces were manufactured in Canada (one of the concerns) and look gorgeous! The crib was so easy to put together. My brother in law did it for us and said it was the easiest directions he has ever seen! The dresser came fully assembled.
My parents paid about $600 for the crib and we paid about $500 for the dresser. My daughter is now 19 months old and we are expecting again in Feb. The new baby will be using both of pieces and they still look brand new! I am extremely pleased with this company and hope to add a glider to the room soon!

I was very hesitant to buy my Dutailier furniture because I didn't see a lot of reviews posted, but I am SOOOO happy with the furniture. The quality is great (very sturdy) and it looks wonderful. It arrived right on time (about 12 weeks) and was delivered and set up in my home. I am truly happy with this purchase. Our baby is due in early December, so I will write back once we start to use the crib.

We purchased glider 11789 and the matching ottoman right before the birth of our second child. I did not have a comfortable place to nurse with the first one and I must say, a glider was well worth the money. I could nurse the baby in the chair and sleep at the same time. I have never used the multiposition feature on this model but I love the recline feature and would definitely recommend getting a chair that reclines for those late-night feedings. This model also comes with what they call “comfort plus� cushions, which I recommend as well. I did not find Dutailiers without comfort-plus cushions to be very comfortable, even the “oversized� chairs that look like they would be comfortable were not.My last comment is about the fabric. I do not understand why a company that markets its chairs as appropriate for use in a nursery would not make machine-washable cushions. But, I got the chair in a neutral microfiber and have had no problem cleaning the chair with Resolve carpet cleaner (my daughter took a blue ball point pen to the ottoman a month after we got it and the only thing I had on hand was Resolve. It worked incredibly well; got all of the ink out. Resolve has also worked to remove spit up etc. on the ottoman as well). I would definitely go with microfiber if you are going to use this chair in a nursery.I got the regular ottoman (not the nursing one) and it has worked fine. If you are getting a glider, get an ottoman or some sort of footrest, it makes a difference. As for price, we got a deal. It was less than $600 for the chair and the ottoman.
