ANY REVIEWS ON NATART OR RAGAZZI CRIBS?
We were looking at the Natart - Austin crib today. We were between that and a Ragazzi. I know Natart has better ratings in the Baby Bargains book - since the original Ragazzi went out of business and another company only took over recently, but we have not seen the Austin crib in person...only in pics.
ANyway, we left the furniture store today very frustrated as we like one set from each company, but were not able to see the actual Natart set in person.
Has anyone had experiences with the Natart or new Ragazzi companies? Any feedback would be great.
Thanks!

We have the Natart Austin crib for DS. We LOVE it- the quality is excellent. We will most likely get another Natart when this baby is born since he/she will be here when DS is 13 months and still needs the crib.

You can't go wrong with either Natart or Ragazzi. Both are superior brands that get high marks from mothers.
I got the Ragazzi Pompeii set when I saw it in person. Love that it's not made of pine and has dovetailed smart close drawers.
Ragazzi got poor reviews from the recent Baby Bargains book not for its quality but for the subpar customer service given by Stork Craft, its parent company, to those who purchased the Ragazzi furniture prior to the takeover.

Thanks ladies. I know the Ragazzi did not get poor reviews because of quality and I know that it used to be known for very high quality, I was just a little concerned that there are no reviews since the Stork Craft took over. Although Baby Bargains says that the new Ragazzi does look like good quality.

This is the same set that we are ordering! I am glad that you are happy with it!

Quality is still very good considering they're making more furniture in China now instead of Canada.
I got no qualms paying for my Ragazzi set. It's not so expensive considering that you get the rail free when you buy the crib.

Really, the rails were free? Are you talking about the conversion kit? The kit for the set I am looking at is 189. The crib is 649,(this is for the Etruria crib) but then again, they offered me 10% off the entire order. I guess every place has different promotions.
