You cannot buy drop side cribs any longer. It is a safety issue. I, standing at just 5 feet, cannot reach inside a 'fixed side' crib. Although, the drop side cribs are not encouraged, I cannot leave a baby in a crib, anyway :)
I bought a wooden crib at a garage sale one day, with the intention of painting it. I really didn't like the crib, as I was really wanting a drop side, but time was getting close to my grand daughter entering this world, so i gave in and bought it. A week or so later, I was in a vintage store, and low and behold, I saw a wooden Basset crib manufactured around 1995. Not only was it a drop side, it had 2 drop sides!! The store was planning on using it for display only, although she did not really like the style. She was looking for a sleigh style that would convert to a toddler bed, to display baby bedding. We decided to trade cribs :) So, we both got what we wanted! Here are the pictures....
