When it comes to baby furniture just keep in mine that you really get what you pay for. I have bought the cheap walmart furniture before thinking that I will save money but in the long run you really don't. In fact you actually waste more money because you have to replace it all the time. And when you put it together it just never looks like the picture and there are always chips in the wood and flaws in the design. I think that if you want it to last and especially if you are going to have other children then you are going to want to have that nice furniture that will last.
Another great site to check out if you are plannign that baby shower is The Shower Foundry. They have decorations, diaper cakes, balloons even party games that you can play at the shower as well as really nice baby shower gifts too. You can shop by themes or just find what you need and they have items for both boys and girls as well as twin showers...those are always fun!
