We have the baby's dream omni, purchased for $350 from a local store here in Denver. We love love love this crib. Everyone who sees the crib compliments us on the crib as well, and is very surprised when we tell them how reasonably it is priced.I have always told my husband that I like "clean styles." I guess I rubbed off on him because when we went shopping, he was intent on finding a square and simple, but sturdy, crib. Sounds easy, but this turned out to be a tall order. We preferred stationary cribs to drop side or drop rail cribs, so maybe the straight square styles are more readily available in the other types of cribs? At any rate, we like a stationary crib because with no moving parts, we felt like it would last longer. And it just feels so much steadier -- you can shake it all day long and it doesn't even jiggle. So -- in our search for stationery cribs with a simple design, we were constantly finding curves, scrolls, or intricate detailing. My poor husband was just amazed at how difficult it was to find a basic clean looking crib. I mean, this is the new millennium, right?Finally, we came upon the Baby's Dream Omni crib. Beautiful!!! And it was more affordable than just about every other stationery crib that we looked at, to boot! The wood has a rich warm hue.We considered buying the matching dresser, but the drawers did not have dovetail joints, which was a deal breaker for us.Our baby is not yet sitting up so I can't comment on how well the crib does under the daily usage of a more mobile/active baby. We're feeling pretty confident on that front, though.For extra money (I believe $100) we can also buy the rails to turn this crib into a bed. It seems that most people do not use the bed option for their cribs. I can barely plan tomorrow, much less several years from now. When the time comes, if I think about it, I'll come back and update this review with that info.
