I know a lot of parents don’t feel that the sliding rails on cribs are really safe, so what if instead of the rail sliding down the top piece (like a foot or two) kind of folded down and then locked into place. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crib that did that so it might be a rather unique feature.

We have now bought a crib for our son (due in April). Its an antique white four-poster crib- very pretty.

We originally looked at the Chelsea Sleigh Crib made by Bratt decor (we wanted the silver one) but had issues with communicating with their company (they are east coast, we are west coast, and work full time so it was just too tough to correspond).

I think new parents (well, at least if they are like us) are wanting new styles of cribs. I absolutely did not want a common looking crib, I didn’t want basic that every other baby has. The selection at stores near us (Babies R’ Us, Segals, etc) was pitiful at best. I wasn’t interested in paying $500 for a crib that looked like a crib that every kid will have and is made of particle board. No thanks.

So I think its important to have good contact with your customers (if they’re on the west coast and you the east don’t make them call 12 times just to order a catalog and your "forget" to send it, its tough for them to call during business hours). Use quality products to make the furniture (not particle board, people don’t want to spend much money on particle board). And give "different" styles, don’t make cribs that look like what every baby on the block has.

Those are just my suggestions.
