Land of Nod Jenny Lind Crib — 

I am a fan of a couple of things: land of nod furniture, traditional styles and classic designs. So, when buying a crib, I knew where I wanted to start.

I headed over to Land of Nod and checked out all the cribs. There were many popular styles including sleigh beds and modern designs. However, I instantly gravitated to the classic JENNY LIND crib. I just like that look and feel. It was slightly more feminine and baby, but I knew with the right accents I could make it work for both boys and girls. SOLD!

I ordered the Land of Nod Jenny Lind crib and have been pleased ever since.

What I like about the Land of Nod Jenny Lind
The bed is sturdy, stable and very well constructed. It comes with wheels, but you can always have it without. The slats are obviously to code so that your child cant fall through or get caught. The side arm is easy to move up and down and the bed portion is easy to move up and down.

The downside of the Land of Nod Jenny Lind. 
This crib is definitely more expensive than the Jenny Lind version in Babies R Us. However, I can guarantee you that is feels much more secure. That security was worth the price to me!

Also, it takes some work to put it together. We have another crib (that we bought from Craigslist for the 2 month period where we had 2 kids in cribs) and the Jenny Lind crib took much longer to put together! 

Also, the Jenny Lind bed does not convert into a toddler bed. I just saw at Land of Nod that you can buy a new side panel but it is pretty pricey and requires reconstructing the bed. In general, Im not into toddler beds, so this was not a big deal to me.

Overall... I like my Land of Nod Jenny Lind. And, I am sure you will too!

In response to LoNisawful's comment from Aug 28, 2008 at 12:01AM:

Really? I definitely did not have that experience. My husband may have swore once or twice when assembling it... but other than that, it was perfect. Not certain what you mean by top heavy? The weight was very evenly distributed.

This furniture is the worst. Please tell parents not to buy it. It is top heavy and each piece we purchased took an average of 5 hours to assemble. Couple that fact with many of the holes not lining up and their obvious CNC issues and I wonder why they are still in business. Their V.P. of Engineering should be fired. It's obvious she has never put a LoN piece of furniture together.
