Where to buy crib - Behr's or BBB? And why? - UPDATE AT BOTTOM - bought at Behr's - love it, and it was cheaper than BBB

Our goal for the day is to finally order the crib and then go to the beach. Which place do you think is better, and why? We liked both.

I can't say anything about Behrs....but the fact that you could use the 20% off BBB coupons on furniture...won me over at BBB Chat Icon

You can't use the Bed Bath & Beyond coupons - but if you got the 20% off ones in the mail from Buy Buy Baby like 1 or 2 weeks ago, you can use those...

Really? Wow!
I did get one, now I have to find it!
I thought furniture was one of the exclusions on the coupon.
Thanks!

Nope you can use it - but it's only for 1 item. So say you order a crib and a dresser, you'll need to get 2 coupons to use if you want the discount to both. The good thing is that you can bring the coupons back to them to get the price adjusted up until you take delivery. The bad thing is, the coupons only come out like once every 3 months...so, since they just came out you would have to wait a bit to get more...We just went with more coupons to have ours adjusted that we ordered back in July...it wasn't too painful Chat Icon

Re: Where to buy crib - Behr's or BBB? And why?

I have one crib from Behrs Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon and we just got the one for #2 at BBB....used a nice 20% off coupon for that and it's a great crib.

I think it's all about what you're looking for, what you like and the best deal.

Behr's can be VERY expensive.

It seemed to me that Behrs did have some REALLY expensive stuff, but some of their cribs were also sold at BBB for about the same price.... after a while, all the cribs look the same to me! We didn't go yesterday, are going today, so one more bump! We might stop by both... but I want to just buy one already!

We got our set from Behr's. We are very happy with our furniture. It did take a while to come but that was expected. They delivered it as soon as it came in (took about 12 weeks).

Re: Where to buy crib - Behr's or BBB? And why?

we got ours from behr's but that's simply because what we liked best was from behr's. the only set we really liked at BBB was more $$ than the set we ended up getting from behr's. a lot of behr's stuff is expensive, but we found a reasonably priced set and love it.

Thanks ladies!
We need to order it ASAP - I'll be 25 weeks on Monday!

I guess in the worst case scenario, if DD comes first she can sleep in a pack-n-play in our room. My sister said she did that anyway.

Re: Where to buy crib - Behr's or BBB? And why?

We went to both today, and bought ours at Behrs. The exact same set was actually cheaper at Behrs, and Behr's had a 10% off sale. BBB would have been 5% off with the coupon, and on only one piece.

We love the furniture!!!!!!!

We were going to be gender neutral and sensible, but then DH became and even bigger mush than me, and we spent more than we were planning and went totally girly!

Can't post pics, but here 's a link to pic of what we got - it was actually much less at Behr's than this website!

We were in Behrs saturday afternoon also and ordered our furniture. They had a great selection. I love the crib you chose. We chose something very similar from Munire with the rounded crib rales or poles (not sure what they are called).

Thank you!
I love it too - I think I know which one you are speaking about - we went back and forth between a few- I think yours is one we really liked too!
I think the rails are called spindles.
It was so funny, DH was all about buying a more budget friendly, and then I finally agreed with him, after I really wanted the spindles, and then he changed his mind - "No, our daughter should have a fancy crib" - it was really cute!
I wonder if were there at the same time? We were there from around 3-4, left and went to BBB and compare, and came back at 5:30 to order.
