Bassett Convertible Cribs

By Court

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.

If you want real quality and something that will stand the test of time then you should seriously consider Sorelle. There are very few other manufacturers who can match its cribs in terms of build quality and elegant design; Pali, Munire and Basset cribs being just a handful that can offer cribs that are as good.

This company has a fine pedigree in the manufacture of nursery furniture. Pali is an Italian company with a wide distribution network in the US. It was the first company to produce the "one-hand" drop side feature with no exposed hardware. Pali calls its collections of convertible cribs, 'Forever cribs'.

A personal favourite of mine is the Sorelle Cottage 4-in-1. Its overall look and restrained styling means that it could fit just as equally well in a modern nursery or one that harks back to previous times. The spindles are plain and square-edged. Likewise, the foot rail is straight and the headboard is crafted of simple wainscoting. The rail on the headboard is curved which softens its overall appearance. The finish is either in white or French white.

The Carmen Forever collection has a chunkier look to it. The side panels are straight, unlike the Rosalia, and the rails are only rounded on the headboard and footboard. Again, the slats are plain in design. The choice of finishes is somewhat smaller; you can have cherry, cognac, hazelnut, matte white and natural.
