[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The downside with PBK is I will have to get it in chocolate because I want to match the crib to the Kendall dresser. I don’t like the Larkin one. I do like the gray but I worry it won’t hide as much wear and tear as a dark color would. [/quote]

Oh dear, OP.  You must be new to buying furniture.  All that painted crap that is so popular now will look like crap in a year after the paint is dinged and scratched.  Also dark furniture and cabinets always look like crap for two reasons: the dust stands out and like painted furniture the dings and scratches show up much more when the dark finish is sloughed off, revealing the crappy pine wood/mdf underneath.

If you want to spend $2-3k on furniture get something made out of real wood with a natural finish, preferably one of the lighter woods like oak or maple.  It will look amazing and age very well.  BTW, this furniture is not sold at the crappy “mall” stores like PBK.

Also do this for the rest of the furniture in your house, so you don’t end up throwing out all that mdf/painted crap in a few years when it looks awful.  Landfills are full enough.  Remember your kid will need to live on this planet for another 80 some years.[/quote]

+ 1 don’t buy disposable furniture.  The irony to buy disposable furniture for a baby who will have to live a lifetime with the overfilling landfill is so ironic to me, I think that OP is a troll [/quote]
