How much are you spending on the crib?

We went to a baby furniture store last weekend and the prices seemed high, especially compared to the chain stores like BRU. I just want to get an idea of what cribs typically cost.

If you don't mind posting, please share the brand and around how much you paid. TIA.

I bought two Renew Standard Cribs by Rockland from JCP for $200 each. They are simple cribs(not convertible) and the company plants 10 trees for each crib they manufacture.

My crib was $499 made by Westwood. I don't have a picture but I bought it at Buy Buy Baby and got an additional 20% with a coupon. It got good reviews from
the baby bargain book.

Re: How much are you spending on the crib?

I went to behrs for a baby belly class and was stunned at the pricing of their furniture

We wanted BABY furniture... crib and changing table/dresser. Not a full transitional furniture set that lasts until the teen years, since we don't have the space right now, and we want a second baby in the future.

So, we got a babymod crib and changing table. The crib was something like $315 and the changing table was something like $250
I forgot the exact prices, but it wasn't very much.

The furniture is great quality... solid wood, very well-built, and substantial... The crib also comes with a conversion kit (to a toddler bed). however, we bought it w/o seeing it in person, so we depended upon the 30+ five star customer reviews online.

at any rate, my experience is that you don't HAVE to spend a lot of $$ for decent furniture. Just make sure the customer reviews are all extremely good....

Re: How much are you spending on the crib?

We went a bit insane on furniture, my mom bought us the crib which was 850 and then a few other pieces were us and DH's parents bought us a piece..the crib converts into a toddler bed, not a full size bed. DH and I just fell in love with the set, and unfortunately it cost a lot. It's also gender neutral so we're hoping to use it for the next one, and considering the price, it better last till the next one

We just bought our crib yesterday from Sukon's. Its a Bonavita and it cost $499.99. They gave me a flyer yesterday that they are having a tent sale the end of this month. They're going to have items 20%-50% off.

I am not into the whole expensive baby furniture thing.. I just dont see the point and I have yet to know anyone that actually used the furniture as "lifetime" pieces. They either have more kids or buy new stuff when it is time.

Re: How much are you spending on the crib?

Nothing this time around since DS is getting DD's crib but our crib for DD was about $700. It is a solid wood, convertible crib. We wanted furniture that would last a long time that is why we were willing to spend more on the front end. We don't plan to replace any of it any time soon.

Re: How much are you spending on the crib?

My crib was 900 plus tax and delivery not including the matress.....alil expensive, but its a bedroom set, one that she will use for years..my son will be 10 next month and still using most of his furniture..
i felt it was a good investment...
it does convert into a full size..and i plan on using it as such...
i bought from Behrs which is where i bought for my DS 10 years ago.

I'm probably getting a PB crib, and they run around $700 or so. These are my two favorites....

Re: How much are you spending on the crib?

I'm spending $700. It may be considered a splurge but the quality is very good and it's convertible so should last DC well into grade school and even beyond.

Re: How much are you spending on the crib?

I think we are getting the Pottery Barn Skylar crib which costs around 700 bucks. It's a lot, but we're only getting the crib (it has drawers underneath.)
