Sell Cheap or Keep This Oeuf Crib? Good Questions
4/21/12 12:20 AM

I originally bought a wooden rocking chair, but our house is from the 20's and has wood floors, and the rocker/floor combo was a nightmare, even with a rug.
Our baby came 2 months early, so she spent the first month of her life in the NICU.. She couldn't handle a lot of stimulation, but I noticed how much I loved the way the chairs they had in intensive care bounced gently without making her feel stressed out. They were essentially metal versions of the Poang Ikea chair, which I hated, but after coming to terms with the fact that it was after all for her and not me, I gave in. We use it 10+ times a day for nursing. I made a wooly cover for it that is a little more cozy, and for 70 dollars, you can't feel too bad if you never use it again.

i have to say that initially when i went to our target the day of launch, i was disappointed with the selection that was left and left empty handed. however, the other day my mom came over and brought me a "gift" of the melamine zigzag plates and striped bowls, zigzag coffee mugs, the three zigzag ceramic mixing bowls, he drinking cups in zigzag a hand towel and a picture frame. although its clearly target stuff, its cute, adds a pop to our kitchen and i like it :)

bedbugs are my top concern, and also the cost of redoing it, restuffing etc. you could buy a brand new one! unless it ewas free, of course.

i have to admit, we found a knock off pair of eames molded plastic chairs by baxton studio on amazon for 150 dollars, and i don't feel bad about it. charles and ray wanted their designs to be affordable, and 1000 dollars isn't affordable for most people. the other 850 dollars we saved is going towards furnishing our new babys nursery.
