Baby Cribs
The most important piece of baby nursery furniture which you need to buy is a crib. They come in a wide variety of styles and finishes to match any nursery theme or color scheme the parents might have for the nursery.

Some of the more common features available would be adjustable mattress heights, metal mattress supports, one of three different kinds of release mechanism, rolling casters and/or a teething rail. A baby can use the crib from birth until around the age of 3. When shopping for a crib, keep your eyes open for a bargain on a convertible style crib, which can transform from a crib, to a toddler bed, and then a full size bed. If you can invest in a convertible crib, it would alleviate the cost of a bed in the future. A safe and sturdy crib will cost from $150 to over $1000 depending on the quality of the wood and the features provided.
Baby Dresser
Every nursery needs a chest of drawers for the newborn. You can buy them with a theme, in different styles, shapes and colors. Baby’s dresser is an baby nursery furniture item that can be picked up at a yard sale. Thrifty shoppers know that purchasing a full-sized dresser is more economical than buying a small dresser. Remember that you will eventually have to turn the baby room into a child’s bedroom, and a smart investment now can grow with your child through the years. Don’t be afraid to buy an older dresser. An older dresser can be as good as new with just a coat of paint, assuming all hardware is working well.
Rocking Chairs
A rocking chair would be a welcome addition to the baby nursery furniture. The rocking chair would give the mom-to-be lots of quality time with her newborn baby. Snuggling up and rocking to your baby during his fretful, colicky times is a must-do, according to this grandmother. This baby nursery furniture can be any kind of rocking chair as long as it is sturdy and will hold up to lots of use.

These tables are often discarded when the baby outgrows them. Another option for a frugal changing table is to convert a full-size dresser into a changing table.

Accessories include changing pads, oraganizers and wipe warmers. A changing table can be used from birth until about two years of age. This baby nursery furniture range in price from $90 to $200 depending on the accessories and storage space they have.

A bouncer seat can be used from newborn until the baby is 9 months old.

Cradles
