3-in-1 Convertible Crib with Hidden Hardware, Walnut

Most cribs telegraph their hardware: visible screws and bolts along every joint. This one hides it, which leaves a smooth, uninterrupted walnut surface that reads more like a piece of bedroom furniture than nursery equipment.

It converts from crib to toddler bed to daybed as your child grows, with four adjustable mattress heights along the way so you're not bending further than necessary to reach a newborn. The frame is solid New Zealand pinewood from FSC-certified forests, finished in a non-toxic multi-step process, and the whole piece is GREENGUARD Gold certified after testing for over 10,000 chemical emissions.

Owners who've had it for a year or more with an active toddler report it holding up well, with the honest caveat that the finish can chip if a corner takes a hard hit, which is true of most painted wood furniture in a room with a small child in it.
