    3 Designer Cribs...And Their More Affordable Alternatives3 Designer Cribs...And Their More Affordable AlternativesFinding a beautiful baby crib isn't hard. It's easy to browse through Ouef, Restoration Hardware, and Land of Nod cribs and fall utterly in love - until you see the price tags pushing $1,000. So I took 3 of the most popular and beautiful designer cribs and found their budget twins - often times cutting the price by double or even triple with a shockingly similar look. Can you tell the difference?











    SPLURGE: Oeuf Classic, $940 SPLURGE: Oeuf Classic, $940 1. SPLURGE: Oeuf Classic, $940
    This is one of my favorite cribs of all time, from one of the most coveted baby furniture designers. It's simply stunning in person.

    Baby Mod has some of the best modern-style cribs at a more affordable price - like this one that looks shockingly similar to the Oeuf Classic.

    SAVE: Jenny Lind Stationary Crib, $169 SAVE: Jenny Lind Stationary Crib, $169 SAVE: Jenny Lind Stationary Crib, $169
    Yet if you love the vintage look, it doesn't get much more classic (or more affordable!) than the Jenny Lind. On the fence? Look at all of these real-life Jenny Lind cribs at Apartment Therapy, here and here. (PLEASE keep in mind that there are many used Jenny Lind cribs for sale out there, but most of the older versions are drop-side cribs - which are now fully recalled across the board.)

    SAVE: giggle Better Basics Harper Crib, $595 SAVE: giggle Better Basics Harper Crib, $595 SAVE: giggle Better Basics Harper Crib, $595
    Okay, okay. It's not the most affordable crib out there, but it's a similar look to the DwellStudio crib for almost $400 less - plus it's an eco-responsible crib with non-toxic and low-VOC finishes.
    This is a truly gorgeous crib in person, and for that, it's not a bad price.
