Have you ever seen how shotty those cribs are that are sold in major baby stores? Pieces of junk that are overpriced.
It irked me beyond belief when I was preggo with #1 & I refused to purchase one. We were in a military town, so to find a speciality store was close to impossible but we finally did. For baby #2, we went to Amish country & purchased a handcrafted one.
Both cost a pretty penny but they are converter beds & if taken care of the right way, can last them through college & beyond. We didn't really get into going all crazy with decorating the rooms & instead put the $$ towards quality furniture & an awesome rocking chair
