Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
Pine is one of the softer woods but there is nothing wrong with it at all. Its beautiful.
My dad sold unfinished furniture my whole life so I have become an expert at this stuff by osmosis

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
ok, checked with the expert himself and SOME pine furniture dents more easily than others. Find out what KIND of pine it is and I will check into this further.

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
i say don't worry too much - all furniture will dent or get nicks over time...you loved it so you chose it!

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
I have pine furniture in my house (not in the baby's room) and it does dent easily, but I love it because it has a lot of character and looks less brand new...I don't like brand new looking furniture...

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
the whole idea behind pine is that it is soft and eventually it will dent and become distressed. a lot of people really like that distressed look so they go with pine.
If you don't like that look, then you might want to check into a hard wood. Maple, Oak, Cherry, etc.

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
Thanks ladies!
I think it's Swedish Pine made in Thailand. It's the Bonavita Sheffield collection. (www.bonavita-cribs.com)
I just remember seeing a picture of someone's pine crib full of teeth marks!
I just hate spending all that money for it to be ruined so fast.

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
I think that one of the charms about pine furniture is that it does dent easily. The "shabby chic" look is very IN right now so it might not be the worst look in the world! I've seen them try so hard on TLC and Extreme Makover to distress wood!

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
I love pine! Yes is dents easily, but that's why I like it. It adds character. I would never suggest pine floors though

Re: Did I make a mistake with my nursery
I have a pine bedroom set and I love it. It does dent and scratch easily, but hey...people shouldn't be inspecting your furniture for each and every dent, IMHO.
