High Quality Construction
Each crib is individually handmade from 100% solid hardwoods by a skilled Amish craftsman.
American Made
Our cribs are 100% American-made, created from American-made hardware and American-grown hardwoods. Your purchase of an Erik Organic furniture piece directly supports the rural Midwestern economy.
Our Cribs Grow Alongside Your Child
Our cribs change into a kids bed and/or full sized bed with the addition of a conversion kit, assuring that the piece will not become obsolete in a few years.
Cairo Crib Measurements
30.5" deep x 45.5" height (top of arch) x 56.5" wide, front panel is 41" high, slats are 2.125" apart, slats are .5" thick 1.125" wide.
Hardwood
We offer eight standard hardwood choices on our cribs. You can learn more about the qualities of these hardwoods on our hardwood sample pages.
Wood Finish
Select the finish to match your choice of hardwood. You can learn more about the qualities of these finishes in our hardwood sample pages.
The most common wood finish choice on our baby cribs is oil & wax.
Conversion Kits
Our cribs change into a kids bed and/or full sized bed with the addition of a conversion kit.
Kids Bed: By adding a kids bed conversion kit, you can remove the front crib panel and replace it with a board -- this board covers up any gaps between the mattress and bottom of the kids bed.
The kids bed utilizes the same mattress as the baby crib, and is appropriately sized for young children. The conversion kit is created in the same hardwood and finish as your crib.
Full Sized Bed: A full sized bed conversion kit converts a crib into a standard full-sized bed. With the conversion kit, you remove the two side panels and replace them with side rails. Bed slats are also added.
The full-sized bed utilizes a standard full-sized mattress and box spring. The conversion kit is created in the same hardwood and finish as your crib.
Front Panel
A flip-down front panel allows you to flip the topmost portion of the crib's front panel up and down, in order to reach your child more easily.
When using the flip-down mechanism, the front panel of the crib stays in place as shown in this photo.
Here is another photo of the hardware used. The panel will not flip down unless the mechanism on each side is depressed.
The flip-down front panel is not available on the dreamtime or harmony crib styles, due to the curved front panel.
Baby Crib Mattress
Our mattresses are created from certified organic materials, and do not contain the toxic materials present in conventional mattresses.
Our baby crib mattresses are created with organic cotton fabric on top, and organic wool batting to provide a child-safe flame retardant.
Custom Design
We can create matching changing tables, dressers, armoires or bookshelves. Please contact us for more details.
Custom Sizes
We can make small changes to crib panel height, or the height of the crib off the ground.
Casters
A set of four casters allows you to easily move your crib. When you're not moving the crib, the caster wheels can be locked into place.
When attatched to the bottom of the crib, the casters assembly raises the height of the crib by 3.5".
Casters are not available on the Bethlehem or Dreamtime cribs, due to the curved legs.
Crib Drawers
We can also create drawers for use underneath the crib, please contact us for more details.
Reaching Inside the Crib
On all of our crib designs, the the metal frame supporting the mattress can be raised or lowered into one of four locked positions as shown in this photo.
We offer an option on most of our cribs that allows the front panel to flip down, allowing you easier access to the interior of the crib.
We can also adjust the height of the crib legs -- it's easy for us to raise or lower the crib by a few inches.
If none of these options suffice, then we can create a matching footstool or bench to help you reach inside of the crib more easily.
Time to Create
We maintain an inventory of oak cribs, many of which can ship out within 1 week.
The time to create our cherry, walnut, hickory and maple baby cribs ranges from 4-6 weeks.
Customized cribs take around 6-8 weeks.
Shipping
We ship our baby cribs via UPS, which takes around 1 week.
Cribs ordered along with a changing table, dresser, armoire or other larger furniture piece ship out via curbside freight. This takes 1-3 weeks for delivery.
We do our best to make the delivery of your new furniture as simple and easy as possible. Please click here for more details on our shipping procedures.
Crib Assembly
Our cribs are easy to assemble, and come in 5 pieces: four solid wood panels, plus the metal base of the crib. These five pieces are assembled with screws and bolts, which are placed into pre-drilled holes.
