Crib brands

I went out to look at cribs this weekend. My MIL is buying us the crib and she wanted us to go look at specialty crib stores not just at Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby. We went to the stores and fell in love with two of the cribs in the Echelon line which is Munire's American line. They are soooooo expensive though and I have a hard time justifying her buying it. I know Baby Cache in Babies R Us is Munires lower line of cribs. I would assume they are the same quality but just less decorative. Does anyone know if thats right? Has anyone used Baby Cache? What other brands do you reccomend? We want to get the whole furniture set and the convertible crib so that it will last our child for a long lime.

When my MIL saw/felt the furniture in BBB and BRU she said no. I think part of it was the wear and tear from being in the store (it was pretty beat up) and part of it her having expensive tastes.

We went to a local baby furniture store and fell in love with two sets: one Bonavita and one Munire. We ended up going with the Bonavita as it went on clearance by the time we went in to order - we were able to get the entire collection for what we planned on spending on the crib, dresser, and hutch alone.

Our set is really, really nice. Nicer than our current bedroom furniture. When LO tires of it and we give in to getting her new furniture, we will turn it into guest room furniture.
