Update December 2014: NettoCollection was part of the Maclaren, the stroller brand that was embroiled in a controversial bankruptcy back in 2012. While the collection has since disappeared from Maclaren’s web site, we still see NettoCollection on closeout sites like Overstock.com and, occasionally on Amazon. Here is an archived review:
New York designer David Netto helped launch the modern/minimalist design wave with his NettoCollection in 2002. An interior designer by trade, Netto’s furniture comes in two collections: Netto (which is more expensive) and an entry-level line, Cub.
On the upper end, the “Moderne Crib” ($2200 with matching changer; pictured) is typical of the Netto aesthetic with solid white lacquer panels and natural ash side rails. A shelf under the crib can hold linen boxes, sold separately.
So, how’s the quality? With all the MDF in this line, it’s hard to justify these prices. Rating: C+
