Some cribs excel at functionality, some at being kind to the pocketbook, and others at simply being beautiful. I'm going to restrain myself from going too ga-ga over the rounded curve of this crib's bottom sides, but it truly pushes this crib from merely a baby-holding piece of furniture to something to be admired from a distance. In other words, your baby will be competing for your attention in your nursery.
The bent plywood frame is certainly the visual selling point of Ooba's Nest Crib ($1,650). But it's quality construction all around--the rails are painted hardwood and the frame is polished metal. One nice bonus feature that's not always included (even at this price point): a toddler day bed conversion panel.
