Bassett Convertible Cribs

Sorelle isn’t your run-of-the-mill manufacturer. The company has been making beautiful cribs for over 30 years and remains a family run business to this day. What best sums up the qualities of a Sorelle crib is beautiful designs, excellent craftsmanship, attention to detail and materials that will literally last a lifetime.

Harking back to traditional American furniture styles seems to sit well with this Virginia based company. Unlike many baby furniture manufacturers, the company still makes its cribs in the United States using only the finest hardwoods and craftsmanship. 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.

Using traditional designs and good materials is one thing, but Bassett convertible cribs are also made using the latest technology. Not only does this help to make a Bassett affordable whilst still being of the highest quality, it also means that each piece of nursery furniture meets and exceeds industry standards. All its convertibles have Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) certification, which helps to ensure a baby sleeps safely and that parents can sleep safe in the knowledge that no harm will come their little one.

Bassett aren’t going to be to everyone’s liking. Surprisingly, the company has not come up with a broad range of designs. There are no European modern styles, like that found in Pali cribs. And, the designs, whilst being very traditional, lack the intricate and fancy detailing of manufacturers such as Munire Cribs. The company doesn’t really make cheap baby furniture either; instead, Bassett cribs occupy the mid-range price range.

The Hamptons is another restrained and elegant convertible crib by Sorelle. It is reminiscent of American colonial styling – straight, simple spindles, with straight foot and head rails. Although available in Autumn and Candle Light finishes, to my mind, this crib looks its best in a Cherry finish. The Mara 3-in-1 is a very beautiful sleigh crib and it comes with an underneath storage drawer though perhaps its most distinct feature is that it is on castors, which makes moving it about easy – I often wonder why most convertible cribs don’t come with castors; these are heavy pieces of furniture and moving them about isn’t always easy.
