The first one had a manufacturing defect and needed to be returned. The second one wasnt painted well but I was so over dealing with it, we just kept it.</p> <p>Walmart was also a huge PITA for returns. The first one we took it to refused to take it back because they were a "neighborhood store" and had nowhere to store it. The second one had no idea how to process the return and it took 30 min for them to refund me, and they refused to refund the shipping charge even though it was a defective item. I emailed customer service but never got a response but I was just done with dealing with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-993051 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:04:21 +0000 LulaBee 993051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LIke @lamariniere, I also got an Oeuf classic on CL- gently used, some teeth marks- but I also got her organic crib mattress, all for half of the retail for a new Oeuf classic. I love it, will use it for #2, and it's environmentally friendly, which was important to me for where my baby is sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-993040 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 11:58:55 +0000 Sophs Mama 993040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose crib twins!

It was a pain in the ass to find (had to go across the border to the USA) but I'm so happy we were able to get it. We got it in black. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-992167 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 07:45:19 +0000 Modern Daisy 992167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I live in NYC! There are a ton of them on CL, but I spent about 2 months on a stakeout and emailed a few sellers, but no one would budge on the price. And I thought the prices they were asking were way too high considering the cribs being sold had been used for 2-3 years. I was willing to pay $3-400 for one that was in good condition, but not $600+. The toddler rails were another big factor, they are expensive enough to buy new that I wanted them included in the price but they rarely were. I think it's because most of the sellers were just going from the crib to a 'real' toddler bed instead of using the kit. They must have gotten the prices they were asking because no one ever followed up with me and normally a seller will eventually email me asking if I'm still interested for the price I offered if they didn't have any luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-992101 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 07:14:53 +0000 Jellyfish 992101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the the babyletto hudson convertible and just assembled it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-992093 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 07:06:58 +0000 looch 992093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another ikea gulliver here... Ours was going to be left behind when we moved do we didn't invest a lot.</p> <p>We also had a davinci rivington but we decided not to use it as a full bed because I don't like the look of slats on the headboard and footboard. So it is set up at my parents house for my nephew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991953 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 01:34:25 +0000 lamariniere 991953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy: Oh wow. Where do you live? We lived in NYC at the time, so it seemed like there were always at least 2 or 3 on craigslist at a time, so the prices were more affordable. Ours does have very minor teeth marks. I was going to buy the touch up paint but never got around to it and I'm ok with that. My big regret is that I didn't hold out for one with the toddler rails, which I saw like 2 months later for almost the same price. Since the Oeuf is harder to find in Europe, we'll have to splurge on the rails when the time comes. But I've already decided that baby 2 will be sleeping in it until his or her legs are hanging out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991534 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 19:54:28 +0000 shopaholic 991534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Jenny Lind crib here! I love it and it's a beautiful and solid bed for such a great price!

I love the gray color - it's neutral enough that it goes with anything/everything but still different from traditional colors. It looks a lot like the ouef for a small price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991321 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 18:21:48 +0000 Bao 991321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one for A: </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Delta-Childrens-Products-Canton-Convertible/dp/B001P22Z2I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1375744856&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=black+crib" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Delta-Childrens-Products-Canton-Convertible/dp/B001P22Z2I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1375744856&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=black+crib</a></p> <p>Not sure what one we will get for this baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991308 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 18:17:57 +0000 MrsH 991308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Most of our house is grey ( kitchen, master, hallways - all different shades) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991283 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 18:08:40 +0000 anbanan15 991283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one from Westwood Designs.

I like the modern look. and you can't beat the price tag! I really liked some other (more $$) cribs, but I figure the baby won't be in it for that long and I'd rather spend money on other things, like an organic mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991174 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 17:29:06 +0000 Ash 991174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I tried to avoid gray because our master is gray but I found an inspiration pic with a gray crib and fell in love!

Then changed back to a crib for baby #2.<br /> As a side note - do not get the Oeuf changing table! Surprisingly poor quality and not worth the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991128 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 17:05:31 +0000 Ginabean3 991128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Graco Lauren! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose/page/2#post-991119 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 17:03:02 +0000 ladybee 991119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: me too!

It was a gift from my grandmother. She bought the crib, mattress, and changing table from Walmart. It's convertible but there's not a conversion kit for it. You either do without or you buy a toddler rail. We used it for a month or two as a toddler bed but DS is now on a full size floor bed. We'll be using the crib for baby #2. I really like the crib. It was affordable and we would have bought it if it hadn't been gifted to us. We've moved several times with it already. I don't think it would last us a lifetime but it's still in very good shape and we'll use it until baby #2 outgrows it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose#post-991099 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 16:52:20 +0000 ladybee 991099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are waiting on the Bonavita Peyton crib and dresser to come in. My in laws bought and really wanted quality (I would have done IKEA) but I know I'll be really happy with it. I too adore PBK Kendall so maybe you'd like this. My FIL is a carpenter and preferred the make of this dresser over PB Kendal dresser. This turns into a full bed.</p> <p>ETA this is available at BBB but we bought elsewhere since we don't have one. </p> <p>[attach=2199/13/mr2vf8.480x480.image.jpg] </p> [attach=2199/13/mr2vgq.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cribs-which-one-did-you-choose#post-991097 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 16:50:33 +0000 MamaG 991097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Baby Cache Hudson crib in natural. We had purchased it at BRU about 2.5 years ago and it doesn't appear on their website anymore. We also got the long dresser and the two conversion kits (toddler bed and full bed). We intend for this to be "lifetime" furniture for our daughter and therefore were okay with the money we spent.</p> <p>Now that plan might backfire in the next 16 years :) </p>
