- Cutting Edge Legs: No more claw foot or straight-as-an-arrow, traditional legs. Innovative designs for the crib legs vary from a solid block platform or elongated side panels, to crib legs that are circular, curved or protrude outwards.
- Atypical Crib Slats: Crib slats also uphold to new designs, including thin, round or wide slats, however still adhering to the required standard of being no more than 2 3/8" apart.
- Resourceful Materials: You will not see heavy, antique style wood designs with finishes that resemble different types of wood. Contemporary baby cribs typically consist of light, durable materials that are often eco-friendly, and comply with the highest safety standards set forth by the CPSC.
- Relaxed Colors: Most modern baby cribs are available in neutral colors such as white, grey and sometimes black. The calming colors allow you and the baby to enjoy its exotic subtleness and accentuate your baby bedding and designs.
