Cranbury, NJ -- LaJobi Inc., a designer, manufacturer and distributor of leading brands of infant furniture, today introduced a new furniture line for their Babi Italia brand, the Harrington Collection.

Like treasured furniture passed down through the generations, the carved detailing and turned posts of the Harrington Collection are reminiscent of a simpler place and time.

This Collection features the Lifestyle Crib®, which can easily be converted to a toddler, day and full size bed. Guard rails and bed rails are sold separately.
Other pieces in the collection include a two-drawer nightstand, a five-drawer dresser and a double dresser, which can also be used as a changing surface by securing a contour pad to the back. All drawers feature a sturdy five piece drawer box construction with dovetailed joints. The Lifestyle crib and accompanying pieces are available in a mocha finish.

“A well-designed crib can set the tone for an entire nursery,” said Barbara Rogers, Director of Inspired Brands for LaJobi, makers of Babi Italia. “The rich mocha finish highlights the carved details and careful design that is so sought after for consumers looking for top quality pieces that will last long enough to pass on to their children’s children.”

Like all LaJobi manufactured collections, the Harrington Collection sets a high standard for excellence. Originally designed and carefully crafted from the finest quality materials, the Collection meets all ASTM, CPSC and JPMA standards.

The collection will be available beginning October first at Babies R Us. The collection retails for $499.99 - $599.99.
