I just need to vent for a momemt...
After what seemed like endless research on convertible cribs, we finally settled on and purchased one along with the matching changing table/dresser. We love the crib and so does our 14 month old daughter who has been using it since she was two weeks old.
What I never read anywhere or was told by anyone - there's a good chance your child will teeth on the rails rendering it useless (or at least unsightly) down the road!
So her once beautiful crib that we thought would become a beautiful toddler bed and then beautiful full bed (either for her or for the guest room) has tons of teething marks.
I'm not sure I would have invested so much time and money in this crib and changer had I been told or thought of this. I might have settled for something that was more of a short-term (baby) solution and worried about "big girl" furniture later.
My hubby insists that we can have it re-finished, but it's unlikely it will match the dresser.
Oh well!
