Help me pick a crib!

[emoflamingo]

I'm going with white furniture for the boys' room because I bought a Hemnes dresser in Texas in January and refinished my childhood dresser in white (that dresser stays with the crib if we move and separate the boys into their own rooms). Right now, the room looks like this:





The plan is to buy a bigger bed for DS1 eventually, but we wanted to hold off in case we could get into a house that we could get him a full-sized bed instead of a twin. We'll move the dresser that's under the flag to in front of the window and put the crib on the flag wall (slightly out, but the flag is anchored onto the wall pretty well).

I can't pick a crib, though, so here are the ones I like:

www.target.com/p/graco-mason-convertible-crib-classic-white/-/A-14035836

(I wish Target used a different background for pictures, it's hard to see these!)

I don't plan to repaint the room but when we move, I'm going to do a baseball wall like this:

I like the Somerset crib best.

I like the lauren, the panels on the top of the somerset threw me off.

LOVE the baseball wall.

I like the mason the best, clean lines.

LOL One vote for each of them, I'm sure that helps a lot

YES!

But I have until the 14th to order it because Target is doing free shipping for orders over $75. And I can get 2 points per dollar from MyPoints to do it and it would bump me up enough to possibly redeem for a gift card for myself.

I like the Lauren the best for your boys room. It looks like the ends of the crib are slightly rounded (which looks good with the shape of the dresser). For a girl I would pick the somerset because of the detail.

The Lauren is the one I initially picked out but the other two are so similar I can't decide lol. The Mason is slightly less on my list because I can't find any reviews on it, but the Lauren & Somerset both review great.

I like the clean lines of the mason.

I'm not a fan of the Mason-- the place where the side rails meet the back looks weird to me, like it's joined at the wrong height.

The other two are nice, but I agree with pp-- the Lauren does go with the dresser better than the other one. FWIW, we have 2 Laurens, and have been happy with them.

Just in case it helps to see it from a different angle, here's a pic of one of the Laurens we have:

The somerset is on clearance at my target, for $112 I think.

I like the Lauren or somerset

They don't carry any of them at my local store. They remodeled recently to include groceries without expanding the store so they have next to nothing now.

Your target does stink I exchanged diapers for my sister in law and they made me do a return with my drivers license

I think that's all Targets now. No receipt and wasn't purchased on a debit or credit card that they can access the receipt for, they use your license so you can only make so many returns like that. (For the future, Walmart will take unopened diapers and exchange them or give you store credit with no hassle. Diaper showers are nice, but not if you get all the brands and can only use one brand haha.)

We suggested Walmart to her instead of target. She got a big box of newborns and my 9lb niece doesn't fit newborn diapers so we exchanged them for her

We have the Lauren and it's awesome.

The lines of the Somerset seem more girly to me for some reason and the curves on the end-rails for the Mason are weird IMO.

[darkling_glory]

I like the Lauren!

[redheadk]

We have the Somerset for DD. DH chose it when we needed an emergency crib (long story, the one we did have didn't work out and we needed something quickly). It pairs very nicely with her IKEA Hemnes 8-drawer dresser and bookcase.

Really, I like all 3 that you chose, though, so you can't go wrong.

I like the Somerset #1.
