[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We will look into other crib but my wife is picky when it comes to style and color.

She said the ikea one is okay but hates the color. She would want to find paint to stain it darker.

We are looking into something cheaper like DaVinci.

All of the furniture will be used for additional kids and passed down.

OP that’s fine if your wife wants the PBK one for the style of it.  Just don’t deceive yourselves that the quality is there, or that it’s eco friendly.  PB/PBK was higher end years ago.  It’s made in China crap now, and overpriced (with bad customer service) for what it is.  I had an Oeuf crib that was expensive but lasted through three kids and then sold for a decent amount on Craigslist.  Get whatever crib you want for style, up to whatever price you can afford.  We splurged (too much, in retrospect, as others on here have said— this stage is short and us having 3 kids to use the stuff barely made it worthwhile.  But you could not have convinced me of that w/ my first as I was also rather high maintenance and ecstatic to be pregnant.). But don’t kid yourself that PBK is remotely fancy, quality, or eco friendly.

I’m telling you OP, your wife is getting suckered by the imagine PBK sells to pregnant ladies that think they are getting something high end for their baby.  It is junk, overpriced junk that will look terrible in less than 2 years.   If you want the best quality, get something Amish made.  It is lot more money than PBK, but you get what you pay for at least.  Or check craigslist for something from Stanley Young America.  They were a US furniture company that made gorgeous children’s cribs but no longer make a children’s line as of a few years ago.  [/quote]
