We bought our crib from a store in the Minneapolis area - USA Baby (I'm not sure if that's a national chain or not) - they carry a ton of different brands. Ours says "Cocoon" on it, but I am thinking that's not the brand name. In any case, it's very sturdy and we plan to use it for future kids, too.
Our changing table we actually just ordered from Wal-Mart, it is so cheap but it doesn't LOOK or FEEL cheap and it actually matches our crib really well!!

You can kinda see both in this pic.
I started on and finished our nursery before Ben arrived (of course, he was a surprise, so we made it gender neutral!) and I'm glad I did...those first few weeks were overwhelming and due to various reasons, we ended up moving him to his own room way sooner than I thought we would have (and now we ALL sleep better because of it) and it was just nice having it all done and ready to go for him.
I swear, shopping for baby bedding was soooo fun. I already knew I wanted the above set, but it is just super fun to browse through babysupermall.com and look at all the cute sets that are out there!
