Babys Dream Legendary Crib Review on MomDot.com

We had the pleasure of working with Trisha from MomDot.com on a review of a Baby's Dream Legendary Convertible Crib With Stationery Sides. Trisha has posted a series of articles on her blog about this classic crib that we know and love. Here is one of a few post she has written:

When we left off I was on my way on vacation, which meant I had to come back and do….EVERYTHING. Seriously, I am so behind. This baby will be here in about 2.5 months and I am still staring at the walls wondering what the heck I am going to do to spruce this place up.

One thing I was able to do quite quickly thanks to my friends over at Goores, was get the crib going. I know white isn’t a traditional feel for a boys room, but since I feel like so many colors can be gender neutral (check out Rheas son in pink), I didn’t want that to hold me back. Plus espresso seems so dark for a beach theme and as much as I love darker furniture (after all, my own bedroom is Expresso), nothing had as beautiful of a beachy feel as this.

But I thought to myself…is white a BOY color. I am already decorating the room in a theme that isn’t traditionally planes, trains, and automobiles. In fact, Charlotte had a white sleigh crib. It just matches pink oh so well. But I am shoving those thoughts aside. I painted the walls blue. That has to count for something. Right!?

Now I had absolutely full intentions on giving you a total run down on the step by step process of putting this Babys Dream crib together, but in all honesty the hardest part was unloading the boxes and carrying the crib upstairs. The actual assembly process took under a half hour, making this the easiest piece of furniture in the house to EVER have been put together.

Which is how it should be when you are prepping for a newborn.

This crib is the:

Babys Dream Legendary Convertible Crib With Stationery Sides And Flat Top

The Legendary collection is a high-quality nursery collection perfect for girl or boy. The convertible flat-top Legendary crib transforms beautifully into a toddler bed and later into a full-size adult bed. The crib is a very sturdy stationary design and features substantial molding and curved channel posts. Cutouts around crib posts make tying your bedding bumper hassle-free. Coordinating pieces are value packed, offering dovetail drawer construction, oversized dimensions, and metal drawer glides. The bookcases are a great option for storing baskets, toys, and keepsakes. The Legendary collection is a classic design that can be enjoyed for many years and will grow up with your baby.

Features:

• The Legendary crib offers a new twist on a classic style. Substantial moldings and curved channel posts evokes Old World charm and grandeur.
• Converts to Toddler bed and to Full-size bed
• Conversion kit sold separately
• Mortise-and-tennon joinery
• Solid sustainable wood construction
• Built in the USA.
• Manufactured to the highest safety level.
• Rigorous safety tests and meet all regulations set by the CPSC and the JPMA.

The best part is this crib will last a lifetime. It goes all the way to an adult size and as a beautiful drop down feature so short gals like me can reach the baby.

Assembly instructions

Get all your stuff out…marvel that you are actually going to have a baby to put in here.

ZOMG!

Put someone to work putting it together…after all, you’re pregnant.

Done.

Seriously…..THAT Easy.

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Look, the baby doesn’t have to sleep on the floor!

And just for giggles…a sneak peek at the room….totally undecorated and unfinished….

(late at night, thats why the room is so dark…and did you notice that my fan has surfboard paddles….hard to tell in this shot. Ill get another one.)

Now of course you will get to see more once I do my nursery makeover stuff for Parents Magazine and you will get to see how far I have come from this shot to now…..which really, honestly…still needs a lot more work.

I just cant find anyone to help me.

Do you know how hard it is to walk up and down the stairs 7 months PG? I’m getting winded.

So what do you think…..white for a boy or no way?

New Member of the Munire Family, "Echelon"

Muniré Furniture Inc. announced the opening of their new manufacturing facility of over 200,000 sq feet to produce their new high end brand, Echelon Furniture. Goore's for Babies to Teens couldn't be more excited about this news. Currently, we carry a large variety of Muniré Furniture collections, and we are proud to do so. Please view the press release about this wonderful news below:

Muniré Furniture Inc. on Oct 1st 2010 celebrated the opening of Echelon Furniture in their 200,000sq ft U.S. manufacturing facility based in Gas City, Indiana. This factory’s primary focus will be to produce an upper end line of Juvenile Furniture under the brand “Echelon Furniture”.
Excited by the prospects of bringing jobs and industry back to America, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels flew in by helicopter to partake in the ribbon cutting ceremony. Joined by other state and local officials, Munire Executives and Sales Representatives, new local Echelon employees, the press, and more than 100 guests gathered to participate in the Grand Opening Event.
Company spokesman describes “The objective of the Echelon line will be to create a buying experience for the consumer that will be unsurpassed”, combining a superior product made by American craftsman from American Hardwoods supported by exceptional customer service. Features of the product will include: premier designs, superior quality and workmanship using premier components including 100% all wood construction and the most advanced drawer glide system on the market.

Distribution of Echelon Furniture will be limited to select juvenile specialty stores committed to presenting the elegant designs, beautifully displayed, with the professional sales and service one would expect to be associated with such an elite line of furniture.

Muniré Inc. is investing over $5 million dollars to develop Echelon Furniture as its premier brand targeted to a specific upper end market. The company plans to employ over 100 workers in its first year hoping to expand to 350 employees by 2013. Initial production has already begun starting with samples for the upcoming ABC Show. Full production is planned to begin in November with delivery to dealers expected in early 2011.

BUILDING ON SUCCESS

Muniré Inc. wanted to make clear that Echelon is not intended to compete with its other extremely successful brands but is a natural extension offering a step up for the discerning customer willing to pay a bit more for more expensive components, higher fashion, all wood construction and American craftsmanship. The Muniré Brand will still be in full supply through the company’s N.J. distribution center. Plans for the Muniré line is to expand in 2011 with three new collections being premiered at the upcoming ABC show along with new finishes for many of the existing collections.

Flexa Furniture giving up on the US market

Flexa Furniture is pulling the plug on their current US distribution strategy. In a recent press release, Flexa President Peder Sorensen is quoted as stating "a satisfactory distribution network and sales growth have not been realized in the USA." He goes on to say that "Important factors in the current US economy seem to have negative impact on retail sales which, in certain areas, are stagnating or declining at the moment. The smaller, multi-product independent retailers seem to be struggling and many have closed within the last year. Additionally, FLEXA is experiencing huge increases in the cost of raw material and
transportation."

Flexa is now only going to sell their products through "Flexa Shops." These specialized shops will only sell Flexa products and not offer the consumer other options. While Flexa is a unique concept I don't think this is to the consumer's advantage.

Today's ever-changing business climate is challenging. The mass merchants (i.e. Target, Babies R Us, etc.) and the internet have brought changes in how you purchase your babies and kids products today. Many smaller retailers have struggled with these changes in recent years. There are, however, many of us who do a fabulous job and are not struggling. The independent retailers are typically where you find great customer service. Many of us started out as small boutique stores and have grown into large single or multi-store operations. Goore's started out at 2,000 square feet and is now over 30,000 square feet. We actually offer a larger selection and better customer service in our industry than any mass merchant out there.

In the short period of time we sold Flexa we enjoyed the uniqueness and value they brought to our customers. Unfortunately now we will not be able to service them for their future purchases. They will now have to go to one of 4 Flexa stores in the country. We will continue to offer a huge selection of the best quality brands and great prices and find great alternatives to Flexa for our customers.
