What makes a crib Mission style?
Straight lines and no ornament. Mission design is built on simple vertical slats, squared edges, and flat surfaces rather than curves or carving, so the Mission crib earns its look from proportion and the wood itself. It’s the calmest, least fussy crib style there is.
What does the Mission crib convert into?
With conversion kits, it becomes a toddler bed and then a full-size bed, so the frame carries your child from infancy onward. The kits are available separately, which lets you add each stage when you reach it rather than paying for all of it upfront.
Does the crib come with a mattress?
Yes, a crib mattress is included. That’s worth noting against cribs sold as the frame alone, where the mattress is a separate cost you add on top.
Can I get the Mission crib in oak?
Yes. Oak is one of seven woods it’s built in, alongside quartersawn white oak, cherry, sap cherry, brown maple, hickory, and hard maple. Oak suits the Mission style particularly well, since the straight lines let the grain show. It’s shown here in sap cherry, and we send a sample of your actual wood before building.
Is this a drop-side crib?
No. The Mission crib is a fixed-side design with no moving rail. For specific questions about safety standards or how it compares to a crib you’re replacing, call us at 615-819-2772 and we’ll give you straight answers before you order.
Why does a solid wood crib cost more than a store crib?
Because it’s solid hardwood built to convert through three stages and be handed to the next child, not particleboard built for a year or two. Counted across a crib, a toddler bed, and a full bed, a convertible heirloom crib is one purchase doing the work of three.
Can I match the crib to other nursery furniture?
Yes. The Mission crib pairs with nursery pieces built in the same wood and stain, so you can furnish a coordinated room rather than a crib that stands on its own. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll point you to the matching pieces.
