Can someone help me find the chairs pictured in the children's room in the Sunrise Ruffalo house tour? I've been searching all weekend but still coming up blank. Pictured here:

Getting so many mixed messages on buying used crib vs. new crib...if purchased/made in the last 2 years and up to federal standards, is there really a huge risk?

The only thing is if its used and there are any missing parts. I think that is the only reason that most of the books I have read frown upon it.

used cribs are generally fine, just be sure to check recalls and measure the slats if it is a vintage crib (although that I might not recommend.)

They advocate buying a new mattress because of off-gassing, but honestly, if it off gasses in the first place, why would you want it anywhere near your baby, brand new or not?

I would save on the crib and go cheap (IKEA gulliver, used) and splurge on an organic crib mattress.
