OVERVIEW & RANKING OF THE TOP 5 POTTERY BARN CRIBS
1. POTTERY BARN LARKIN 4-IN-1 CONVERTIBLE CRIB
WHY WE LOVE IT
This style of the Larkin 4-in-1 Convertible Crib is classic and timeless, it blends well with a variety of nursery styles from modern to traditional. The 4-in-1 features are worth the investment because it grows with your baby all the way through their teen years. With the conversion kit, you have the option to make it a toddler bed then a full bed.
It comes in 5 different colors; Stone Gray, Simply White, Chocolate, Heritage Fog, and Soft Gray.
WHAT WOULD WE CHANGE?
Honestly, not much besides the high price tag!
UNIQUE FEATURES
Larkin 4-in-1 crib converts in the following ways:
- (1) Crib.
- (2) Toddler bed with guardrail (conversion kit sold separately).
- (3) Full-sized bed with headboard only (metal bed frame sold separately).
- (4) Full-sized complete bed with headboard, footboard, and side rails (full bed conversion kit sold separately).
There are 4 height adjustments for the mattress to accommodate your growing baby and keep them safe. Plus, the details of the crown molding really make this crib stand out as a quality piece that can be handed down.
PRICE

We warned you it’s pricey! BUT if you can afford it now, this Pottery Barn crib is worth the investment long-term because you won’t have to buy another bed for the next 10+ years.
2. POTTERY BARN RORY 4-IN-1 CONVERTIBLE CRIB
The Rory 4-in-1 Convertible Pottery Barn Crib is a top pick for you if you are looking for all the features of the above crib but want a modern style. This Montauk White color is a great gender-neutral style and perfect for a modern nursery.
WHY WE LOVE IT
The detail of the wood adds a polished look to your nursery without being too bold so you can incorporate a fun accent wall or a more bold style dresser or rocker and still have a nice airy feel to the room without it being overwhelming in texture.
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE?
Nothing about the crib itself but we wish the coordinating dresser set had the beautiful wood detailing and modern knobs to match. It also comes in Rory 4-in-1 Convertible Storage Crib option shown below with storage under the crib.

Can you tell so far that we think the 4-in-1 cribs have the most value for the price? Another convertible crib that makes it into our Top 3 is the Pottery Barn Dawson 4-in-1 Convertible Crib. This Mid-Century Modern aesthetic might not be for everyone, but if you are looking for a statement piece that ties together your modern nursery this is the one!
WHY WE LOVE IT
It is one of the most well-priced Pottery Barn cribs without compromising the quality or style. It converts from a crib to a toddler bed easily and has three mattress height positions.
WHAT WOULD WE CHANGE?
We wish this style had the slats all the way around the rib for extra style points. A similar option is available Dawson Scoop Convertible Crib and we love it but it doesn’t convert to a full bed.

- (1) Crib.

4. west elm x pbk Mid Century 4-in-1 Convertible Crib
Inspired by iconic ‘50s and ‘60s silhouettes, this Mid Century 4-in-1 Convertible Crib features gently tapered legs and a modern profile that looks sleek and chic. If this is your style, this crib will help keep a cohesive look through the rest of the house.
WHY WE LOVE IT?
We love the iconic style and especially how this bed converts into a full-size bed. It definitely doesn’t look like it was converted from a crib in this big kid style!
