question for moms and moms-to-be
where did you get your crib/nursery furniture?
We are having SUCH a hard time! We don't want to spend a lot b/c we don't plan on converting it to a toddler bed and using it for a long tme. Once this baby grows out of it, we'll get him a bedroom set he can use through childhood (we would want to re-use the crib for any future kids though).
I am leaning towards Graco crib (walmart/target/babies r us all carry it) and storkcraft glider (walmart) but they are so cheap compared to others that I'm afraid that will really reflect in the quality and I'll regret it!
Thanks for any feedback!

If you don't already have one, get yourself a copy of Baby Bargains before you buy any furniture! It will list the pricing and safety information of all the major brands, as well as the manufacturers that sell under different brand names. Hands down, best $11 I spent on a pre-baby purchase!
Also, buy online if you can. We were able to comparison shop, didn't have to pay shipping on anything and found prices waaaay cheaper than BRU and any other store.
FWIW, we bought a 3 in 1 crib, specifically because we aren't having any more children. If you are planning on more than 1, a convertible may not be the best way to go. You may still need it as a crib and won't be able to use it as a toddler bed at the same time!
I also love Baby Bargains! We haven't ordered our set yet, either, but from the little bit of looking we did, I can tell you the non-convertible cribs are not that common anymore (BRU seemed to have had the biggest selection).
I was originally dead set against a convertible crib because most of them turn into a full size bed which we don't have room for, but the two sets I like both have the convertible crib. Hopefully we'll be in a new house by the time we need the bed, but if not, we'll substitute a twin bed until we move and have the room for the larger one.
