Baby Furniture - Displayed In-store
Any recommendations for the widest selection of baby furniture in-store? My husband and I have become very frustrated by how much is available online but not available to been seen and touched in any store. We are looking to view the Storkcraft line of furniture (cribs, changing tables, gliders, dressers) and see for ourselves the quality we have read in reviews. We've called around to Target, Sears, Babies R Us and the majority of these stores have maybe 2-4 styles on display. Any store location suggestions would be much appreciated.
So What Happened?™
Thanks everyone for all of the referrals! My husband and I have spent the last few weekends checking out all of the recommendations. I think we are going to go with a Pali crib amd dresser from Lazar's that is on special. We're paying a little more than I originally planned but defintely getting a lot of quality for our money. Thanks again everyone!!!

Hi N.:
First and foremost, congratulations!! 20 weeks is such an exciting time. Your post doesn't mention where you live, but I found the largest selection of on display baby furniture to be at Lazar's in Lincolnwood. Now, I don't know if they carry Storkcraft, but here is their website www.lazarsfurniture.com give them a call. They are tremendously helpful.
All the best,
A.

I was pretty impressed by the amount of baby furniture at a store in Naperville. It's called 'Lil Deb-n-Heir (www.debnheir.com). It's kind of a hike from Chicago but I thought it was worth it. They also way over estimated the time it would take to get the furniture so I got the crib and dresser in a few weeks. Good luck!

Be careful buying online if you do -- I think a ton of storkcraft cribs were just recalled...check www.cpsc.gov. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Good luck with the second half....summers can be tough (I have a 20 mo old born in mid-July and a 4 mo old born over a week late in mid-November).

Give both Buy, Buy Baby and Lazar's a call. They typically have a good selection on display.

We ordered ours through buybuy baby in downers grove. they have a huge selection. We also went to lil deb n heir, babies and beds, crib and bed outlet and beautiful beginnings. We looked everywhere, priced matched, and buy buy baby was the best choice for us. we went with sorelle. Good luck.

Since you're in the city, Babies 'R Us at Fullerton & Narragansett has about 30 cribs/dressers on display. Burlington Coat Factories that have a Baby Depot inside will also have a lot on display (the ones in Arlington Heights and Melrose Park). Happy shopping.
