Buying crib that doesn't convert. Would you buy twin bed now or when you needed it?

WWYD?

For DS#1, we bought a crib that converted to a twin bed. Perfect!

For DS#2, we are buying a crib that doesn't convert. I don't want a crib that converts to full bed because it just won't fit well in bedroom.

The furniture company makes several twin beds that go with the collection. You can sign up to be notified if/when the set is going to be discontinued.

Do I wait and order and bed when DS is ready for it? This is good knowing that I can order earlier if it's going to be discontinued.

One drawback though is that the color might not be exact since it wouldn't be from the same lot.

If I order it now, I have to store it... Basement is unfinished and gets damp... Attic gets cold in winter and hot in summer... So storing it isn't ideal. But it might go up in price in the few years and I might be able to get a better price the more pieces I buy in one shot. KWIM?

Thanks!

I would definitely wait and buy it when you need it - you never know what you will want down the road!

I bought Stanley Young America and they discontinued stuff from a collection and they never emailed me.... just sayin'


But with that being said, I had to purchase a twin and actually found something that "matches" nicely - AND from a completely different manufacturer too.

If the set you chose is nothing too unique then you may be OK waiting.

Good Luck

i think you should wait. your tastes might change by then!

I wouldn't buy it now. Then you have to worry about storing it and all. And by the time you need it, they will probably have a whole new slew of beds out.

I'd certainly wait on that.

i wouldnt buy it now. first off its just extra clutter right now and second you dont knwo what you might want down the road. you may even change the furniture and if it gets discontinued you could always just buy a bed frame and not the whole headboard thing so it would match anything

If it was two toned or a disctinct style, I would order the match. Otherwise I would wait. My brother got stuck since his set was discontinued.
