How much did you spend on crib? Did you spend more for specific crib look/style? Do you wish you'd spent less?

I spent 199 for a set of crib, dresser and changer it was on sale at walmart. I'm happy with this purchase. if I hadnt found this deal on sale I would have spent up to $200 on a crib

We bought our crib, dresser and night table used and spent $500 on all three pieces. My #1 requirement was that it be a light natural wood finish and somewhat timeless. We ended up getting the Babi Italia Pinehurst in Tea stain and I love that it's solid wood, very well made and will last through 2 kids easily.

We went to IKEA and I think it was about 110$? It looks great and seems awfully sturdy. Got a matching-ish dresser too for 80$.

My only requirements were that it was sturdy, white, and could convert into a toddler bed and either a full or queen bed later on.
Ours was a gift, so we could have gone much fancier, but we were happy with one for $175.

It was under 200 for the crib and mattress off of amazon with the completion discount. It was a smart purchase, I love the crib and am glad I didn't have to pay any more for it!
We also didn't pay for any other furniture in the room, so we got a good deal overall.

I spent $187! I ordered off walmart online, free ship to store and had a $25 gift card. The crib was originally $200. I love it and that was the perfect price for us.

We got a brand new Graco crib + mattress for $175. It was an awesome deal!

My dad actually bought it for me, but it was between $400-$500 once he bought the mattress and everything.

I wanted a modern style that wasn't from Walmart. I found that Babyletto was a really great mid-priced option. I think it was $399.

I would have spent anything because I was obsessed with the look & quality of the crib. Luckily for my bank account, the one that caught my eye was a little less than $350...then add tax, shipping and a handyman put it together.

Around $700, but it was a gift. It will last LO until he's grown, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't have gotten such am expensive one and really wouldn't have minded if it didn't convert.

We spent about $300 or so on the Baby Mod Olivia at Walmart but it was a deal with the mattress included.

Ours was a gift but it was about $350. I'm happy with it; we got the rest of his room from Ikea but felt fine about spending a bit more on the crib. If we'd had to spend less I'm sure I would have liked the Ikea one too.
ETA: Ours is the Babyletto Modo 3 in 1.

@Mrs Green Grass: that's one I have my eye on if we decided to spend more than $200
@dojo: on my list of possibles too!!
We are going to go to ikea next weekend and judge whether to get one there or spend the extra money

We just ordered the Babyletto Hudson from Amazon. It was $299 (marked down from $399) + free crib mattress.

$35. It was almost new at a garage sale. It is a gorgeous cherry wood transitional bed with all the parts to expand it later. We even got the brand new, never used Stage 1 & 2 mattress for $10. We are trying to be very cost aware but not ever sacrificing safety. So far we have all the furniture for the nursery and have only spent $100!!! All we need now is my glider and the big stuff is done!

We got a crib that could convert into a full bed, so it was pretty expensive.

Amazon has a promo going, I think through tomorrrow, where the crib mattress is free with certain crib purchases. I ordered the Babyletto Hudson - I had not really wanted to go above $220 for the crib, but with the free mattress, the $299 price was just fine. Might be worth checking out to see if a crib you like is part of the promo.

We looked at a bunch of nice, expensive cribs, but after much thought, we're going to get one from Ikea for $119 plus the mattress. It converts to a toddled bed, and we'll just upgrade DS to a big boy bed later on, and figured it'd still be cheaper than buying a convertible bed we have our eyes on.

I got an Oeuf classic crib off craigslist for $450- included crib, organic mattress, and organic mattress pad. I really wanted to get something eco-friendly and no way could I afford a new Oeuf. I'm so happy with it, despite having to drive an hour and a half to Atlanta to buy it.

We got the $300 Baby Mod Olivia + mattress deal, but it was a gift. Love the crib.

I think our crib was $400 plus the conversion kit to a full bed. DH was very particular about the style that he wanted.

$300.
White, simple, low to the ground, sturdy, non toxic finish, real wood, and converts to toddler/full.
Everything I wanted!
Ours is the Eastside Island by Babi Italia.

$300 total (including mattress) from Walmart. We wanted a contemporary look with clean lines, and the extra storage drawer at the bottom was great.
White bars with walnut-ish brown storage drawer.

I always wanted the PBK Larkin crib (was OBSESSED!) but it got discontinued and sold out before I got pregnant. Plus it was $1K, which was a bit excessive! I was able to find it on Craigslist in perfect condition along with the matching dresser/changing table for $1000 total. So we essentially got it for $500.
DH would kill me if he saw this thread...I convinced him it was a really good price!!!!

$160 for the crib and $95 for the mattress. We have the Graco Lauren in white. I wanted the BabyMod Olivia, but couldn't get it shipped over here. My choices were very limited. I wanted something simple, modern and white.
We did her whole nursery for decently cheap. Her dresser and rocking chair were family heirlooms and her bookshelf was bought for about $40. I would say the whole nursery cost us less than $600.
