Baby furniture?

It dawned on my that the babies will be here in about 14 weeks and thats only if I make it to 36 weeks. It could be sooner. I know some furniture takes up to 12 weeks too.

Anything I should know about Bellini? Do they work with you on pricing? I was going to try Behrs, but I heard they are expensive and I didn't see what I wanted there or at BBB or BRU.

You would think it would be easy to find a simple lined white white dresser and changing dresser with hutch, but no.

Try Lauters in PA. There is no tax and no shipping charges. We bought DS a Young America set by Stanley that we found at Behr's and it was super pricey but we wanted real wood and something classic to last throughout his childhood. We were about to just go for it until I came on here to get Young America reviews and a few ladies recommended Lauters and there were right, amazing. Not only were the prices of each piece that we ordered about $70-$100 cheaper than what Behr's had quoted but there was also no tax or shipping like Behr's. We received the furniture in 8 weeks and it was assembled for us, no complaints at all. We ordered over the phone and put 10% down and paid the rest when they delivered it. I had DS#2 3 months ago and now that the boys are sharing a room in our new house we went ahead and ordered a matching tall dresser for him to match his brothers set.

They have a website with all the brands they carry so if they carry a brand you like, shop elsewhere to find out what you want then order it from Lauters. Do a search on here, I swear they are the best lol.

Bellini won't work with you on pricing. Try Behr's; their stock comes in a range of prices but it's still lower than Bellini.

Is this what you are looking for? If so maybe you can find a retailer close by.

Re: Baby furniture?

BRU had nada in their store. If they had white, it didnt have a hutch available and I really need something with height and display/storage since we don't have room for a bookshelf with 2 cribs in there.

JC Penney doesn't have any plain white. It's all off or antique white and I need white white for the bedding since its mostly white and won't look right with off-white. Too bad because their prices are great.

I looked at the one pupply love posted and its exactly what I want and they do have it at Behrs but its like $2300 all together for just a dresser, hutch and tall dresser. I still need to get a glider, cribs and mattresees too Chat Icon .

Am I just nuts that I think $2300 is a lot for furniture? Or is this just what things cost? My king bedroom set was a lot less than that!

And Lauters was $$$ from what I see.

I don't mind them because their stuff is pretty sturdy for assembled stuff but A) DH will kill me if he has to put 2 dressers and 2 Target cribs together and B) they don't have a hutch shelf thingy.

behr's is more expensive than BRU and BBB - we paid about $2500-2600 for a crib, dresser, chest, mattress and the conversion set. that includes delivery and set-up. honestly, i didn't think that was overpriced - as long as you're getting quality furniture (we checked out baby bargains for reviews). i think bellini is even more expensive though.
