Bassett Convertible Cribs
Executive summary about Bassett Furniture by Robin Cassidy
Like most other manufacturers Bassett now makes convertible cribs. The company’s latest collection owes much of its design inspiration from older American country styles. For, those who love simple, Cottage, New England or Shaker styles, Bassett Convertible cribs will pull at the heart strings.
Unlike many baby furniture manufacturers, the company still makes its cribs in the United States using only the finest hardwoods and craftsmanship.
Using traditional designs and good materials is one thing, but Bassett convertible cribs are also made using the latest technology. The company doesn’t really make cheap baby furniture either; instead, Bassett cribs occupy the mid-range price range.
Inevitably, many parents won’t be buying a Bassett crib, but for those who like or yearn for good-old-fashioned, simple American furniture they will appreciate the designs of many of the Bassett convertible cribs.
The Cottage Pine collection is based on American country designs. There’s a wainscot panel on the headboard. The New Haven crib by Bassett reminds one of Shaker furniture. Unlike the two mentioned above, this is a 4-in-1 convertible crib by Bassett. All of the baby cribs from Bassett echo the fine American tradition of making simple but beautifully elegant furniture.
Beautiful Basset Cribs
Basset cribs have a simple though very distinctive style, evoking an American cottage or New England look. All cribs by Bassett have a Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification.
The company still make traditional drop-side cribs but, like most manufacturers, it makes convertible cribs. You can also buy matching furniture for each Bassett convertible crib, to give your nursery a uniform look.
A very popular Basset convertible crib is the Cottage Pine. The New Haven crib is very New England in design. The Winsor crib by Bassett is a slightly grander affair.
The Basset American Home crib is my personal favorite. This piece of nursery furniture looks especially nice when converted to a toddler-bed.
Cribs from companies like Munire and Babi Italia offer old-world charm but with more ornate detailing.
