Product Description

Editorial Review

This set is equally as adorable for a boy as it is for a girl and is ideal for decorating a baby's room when the sex is still unknown. The set includes a quilt, crib bumper, bedskirt, fitted sheet, diaper stacker, and curtain--all made of soft, 100-percent cotton. The quilt, bumper, and curtain are appliqued with patchwork squares and an assortment of safari animals and exotic trees. The main fabrics used are an attractive assortment of muted blue and green chambray and yellow and blue plaids. The tab curtain measures 5 feet across and has 4-inch tabs for gathering over a fairly wide rod. The included diaper stacker is appliqued with a giraffe at the top and has a built-in hanger for hanging off the edge of the crib. The matching crib sheet is yellow plaid. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for a Boy or Girl, January 4, 2005

We got this set 5 months ago (before we knew whether we were having a boy or a girl). We painted the room a soft yellow and put up the matching border. It looks beautiful. The border went up really easily and we have had no problems with it coming "unstuck". I wanted to do a "wild animal" theme and wanted to stay away from commercial characters like Disney. This set was perfect.

The set comes with 1 sheet, comforter, bumper, dust ruffle, and one curtain. My only regret is that we didn't really need the whole set and would have saved money if we could have purchased only the itmes we needed. We never used the curtain. The comforter can't be used in the crib. Who knew babies can't use any kind of blanket for the first year? I do set it down on the floor as a mat sometimes though. But, since this is my first child, I went all out. We also bought the matching light switch and the wastebasket. Then you can always accessorize with stuffed animals (giraffes, lions, etc)that are inexpensive and easy to find. I also took some of the extra border and cut out some of the animals to use as stickers in a few spots on the walls (like over the changing table). My son loves to try and grab at the animals and it keeps his attention as he is being changed.

Last note - I threw the whole set in the washer on gentle cycle with Dreft and then into the Dryer and had NO shrinkage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I was looking for!!, September 24, 2003

Ever since I saw the photo of a mother giraffe "kissing" her baby's head, I knew I wanted animals as a theme in a nursery if I ever had a child. Once I became pregnant, I started looking, and was so disappointed by all the Noah's Ark or teddy bear themes. I was actually contemplating solid color bedding sets when I saw this one. I immediately fell in love, and the nursery has come out better than I could have ever imagined. My husband and I painted the walls a creamy warm vanilla color on top, with a chair rail, and then a soothing sage green on the bottom. Along with some accessories, pecan-colored furniture, and a framed print of that photo that inspired it all, the nursery does not scream or assault you with cutsie gender-specific stereotypes that will make visitors cringe once they see it. The set is really quite perfect for either sex, and pleasing to adult eyes as well, which, believe it or not is pretty important when you think about how much time you and your husband are going to be spending in that nursery. The colors in the set are neutral enough to make buying other accessories for the nursery quite easy, even if you don't purchase the Malawi accessories, and the whole effect is so calming, rather than having screaming yellows and roaring reds attack you once you walk in the room. There is plenty of that everywhere else you go, so this set has made it really easy to create a look that your baby will not outgrow so quickly, and won't make you squint your eyes in pain either. I highly recommend this set not only for parents looking for a gender neutral set in case they are choosing to not know the sex of the baby, but also for those parents who just don't want the typical every day, every other nursery look. The quality is very nice, and one of my friends actually thought it was a much more expensive designer set she had seen in a catalog. A great product, five stars all the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVING IT!!!!!!!, February 4, 2004

I have to be honest, my husband picked this set out. I wasn't quite sure about it at first but I LOVE it now. We bought everything that matches. Painted the bottom half of the wall sage green & the top half a lighter version with the border in the middle. Our carpet is a very pale yellow, almost white (very daring) All of the furniture is white. The colors are soft which makes it a very calming room, it looks beautiful. I found out I was having a boy, but just to be on the safe side I wanted something that was unisex. The quality of everything is great. I washed the bed set and curtains and didn't have any kind of problems. I would recommend this to everyone!!!!
