It seems lately like everyone I know is either pregnant or has recently had a child. I'm happy to watch and play 'auntie' for now, but I must admit to enjoying picking out names and baby clothes. My sister is an interior designer and thus always looks for the most stylish in everything. While this usually serves her well, sometimes the prettier stuff just isn't the most durable. We found this out the hard way when we bought some furniture a few years ago for her now-5-year old daughter; it wasn't long before several things had to be replaced because the baby started to climb out of the crib broken them as she grew and got heavier. Frustrated, my sister called me to assist her in her search for new and high-quality baby furniture. We'd heard about Ragazzi baby furniture from a commercial and decided we'd go take a look at it.

From the first glimpse of Ragazzi baby furniture through the windows of the baby-product store, we were impressed! One of the first things we noticed was the solid structure. The cribs, beds and chests were made of solid materials, making Ragazzi baby furniture much more durable than the pressed-board structures sold in other stores. Also, we were happy to note that the corners and edges of all of the Ragazzi baby furniture pieces were rounded. Anyone who's ever been around a baby or toddler learning to walk knows that it's very easy for them to run into things and be hurt by hard points or corners. The Ragazzi baby furniture chests of drawers were built so that the drawers would pull out smoothly, but not so easily that a toddler would be able do it. The cribs also had a few different structures. Ragazzi baby furniture is meant to be used over a long period of time, so they had several designs of 'stages' cribs that you could purchase additions for to adjust the bed as the child grew. Since the mattresses of Ragazzi baby furniture cribs were up higher, it wasn't anywhere near as easy for a baby to climb out of as on some other models. We even found desks and bookshelves. Ragazzi baby furniture did a very good job of anticipating the needs of parents and children.

All in all, my sister found Ragazzi baby furniture to be a very good value. Granted, it was pretty expensive, but it's worth it to pay more for something you'll be able to use for a very long time. There is a manufacturer warranty of 15 years or 3 kids, but I have no doubt that the Ragazzi baby furniture we've purchased will last well beyond that.
