[quote=Anonymous]If you plan on converting the expensive crib frame to a toddler, child, and adult bed then I could see paying the price for it. The down side is that you don't know what kind of kid that you will have. I have two boys. The first one made it his mission to rip the slats out of his crib. He was quite successful. The second boy still uses his headboard at age 9, but has destroyed so many toys and other furniture. So, its hard to say how things will play out. The other thing to think about is nursery furniture like combo changing table/dressers aren't sized to be used for more than a few years. I think back to the changing table we had. It had drawers and a small cabinet. It wouldn't make sense in an older kid's room. If I had to invest money in one piece of furniture, it would be a solid rocking chair. Ours has gotten many, many years of use and still going strong.

PBK is expensive and in many cases, just MDF wood from China. I love the design of their furniture, but I do have check out in detail the construction and materials used. Are we talking dovetail joints or locking screws? If you want quality furniture, choose something like Amish furniture.[/quote]
