Cocalo Crib Bedding Sets - Under Construction Baby Crib Bedding
Cocalo, a designer and manufacturer of themed crib bedding sets since the late 1990's, first became known for its baby crib bedding collections marketed under the Baby Martex, OshKosh, and Kimberly Grant brands, names first associated with adult or children's clothing and decor.
Recently, they have begun to introduce new patterns under their internal Cocalo brand. Under Construction baby crib bedding is one of Cocalo's few remaining OshKosh nursery bedding collections. For mothers-to-be seeking a very masculine theme for their baby boy crib bedding, Under Construction baby crib bedding represents a reasonably priced alternative.
Under Construction baby crib bedding is normally available as a 4-piece crib set, consisting of a comforter, four-sided crib bumper, dust ruffle, and fitted sheet. Consumers should be pleased to see that Cocalo sells this pattern in the 4-piece set baby crib bedding. Cocalo, following the lead of other manufacturers, is increasingly introducing new patterns in 6-piece crib bedding sets which include a diaper stacker and valance. The smaller crib bedding sets, combined with the availability of the other items as separate accessories, provides the consumer with the most flexibility.
Unfortunately, none of the pieces of Under Construction 4-piece set baby crib bedding is available separately, thereby reducing consumer choices. In particular, an extra fitted sheet, frequently desired by consumers, is not available for Under Construction baby crib bedding. As in most Cocalo crib bedding sets, the comforter is a lighter weight and less bulky covering than many of the stuffed quilts sold by other manufacturers, for those who prefer this approach.
Cocalo provides a relatively standard selection of coordinating nursery room accessories, including: musical mobiles, valances, diaper stackers, lamp shades, rugs, pillows, wall border, wall decorations, and blankets. All of the nursery room accessories coordinate perfectly with Under Construction baby crib bedding set. This collection incorporates an interesting selection of fabrics in shades of blues, greens, and oranges.
Cocalo baby crib bedding appears to have gone the extra mile to incorporate high quality fabrics and workmanship into this moderately priced collection. Although some of the striped and plaid fabrics are of the printed variety, many of them are of the higher quality woven variety. In woven fabrics, differently dyed or colored threads are woven together in a manner to create the desired pattern.
Woven fabrics are superior to, and more expensive than, printed fabrics, being more vibrant, durable, and color-fast. A deep blue corduroy fabric works very well with the theme, and even the solid green fabric has an interesting diamond pattern sewn into it to give it added character. Most of the Under Construction baby crib bedding pieces and nursery room accessories feature well-designed embroidered construction equipment using textured appliquéd fabrics.
For those interested in alternatives with this particular theme, Kidsline makes Construction Zone baby crib bedding with a far more extensive selection of coordinating nursery room accessories. In fact, the similar coloring of these two crib bedding sets should allow consumers to use Kidsline Construction Zone accessories in an Under Construction nursery.
