It's official: Canadian furniture maker Morigeau sent out a notice (see below) to their dealers Friday saying the company closed its factory and is going out of business.
Once one of the top juvenile furniture makers in North America, Morigeau was known for its well-made and stylish furniture. Morigeau, along with fellow Quebec-based competitors Ragazzi, set the standard for high-end cribs and dressers in the 90's. At its peak, Morigeau accounted for about 20% of the premium nursery furniture market.
Unfortunately, Morigeau has been in a slow and steady decline in recent years. Facing an onslaught of low-cost Asian imports, Morigeau stubbornly stuck with its Canada production. That worked when the Canadian dollar was low, but when the currency soared in the past year, it made Morigeau's furniture very expensive to export.
Morigeau's response was to push prices even higher---a bad move, as the crumbling housing market depressed sales. Morigeau filed for bankruptcy in June of this year and hoped to reorganize with new investors. Those plans were dashed by the economic meltdown, which further sank sales of luxury nursery furniture.
It's been the worst of times for many Canadian-based nursery furniture makers. Ragazzi went bankrupt two years ago, selling its name rights to Stork Craft. Status is gone, as is EG, which was sold to Dutailier.
If you own Morigeau furniture and need conversion rails, we would contact your dealer immediately. Since the company is closing down, there won't be any parts or other items available once the current supply is exhausted. And those with Morigeau furniture who need warranty service will be out of luck.
-----
With great sadness I must inform you that on November 14, 2008 Morigeau Furniture closed their factory, and will be going out of business.
Morigeau truly regrets that your customer orders on the Y30 Production WILL NOT be produced. Unfortunately their Bank has taken over the Factory and will not permit Morigeau to continue.
Please know that Morigeau did everything humanly possible to stay in business, since they filed for Chapter 11, on June 12, 2008. They were successful in getting outside contracts to produce some Office Furniture and were working on a Kitchen Cabinet contract. In addition, Morigeau was aggressively seeking some private investors. Ultimately in this troubled economy, time ran out, and they were forced to close.
We want to sincerely thank everyone of you for your past support. We especially want to thank our staunch supporters who stuck by us throughout the GOOD TIMES and BAD TIMES (you know who you are!).
We have actually had quite a few problems with our daughter's convertible crib. Some pieces did not fit well together and we had to get replacements. it helped, but wasn't exactly as top notch as the price would have indicated. Then, when we did convert it to a full size bed, it doesn't fit a full size mattress. A full size mattress actually goes to the outside edges and does not nest inside the side rails, causing the mattress to slide. I must push it back every day when making my daughter's bed. Plus, the support boards that go over the interior rails are the same height as the side rails, so it is completely smooth. Again, this contributes to the box spring sliding every day as my daughter climbs in and out. Their customer service regarding this was terrible. They sure didn't get repeat business from us when our son was born. It just wasn't worth the price.

I got a call this weekend from our retailer about this - we had an order in for a crib and changing table. Now we have to start from scratch without the 12-16 weeks :( This was the only company we could find that had a modern look, blond wood, and a drop side. Here we go again...

terrible - no wonder they went bankrunpt.
Posted by: jean arnold | November 17, 2008 at 05:09 PM
Does anyone know a dealer who stocks crib conversion rails? I've contacted ~10 and they all order them directly from the factory (which is obviously now closed) so they can't get them.
Posted by: YYZ | November 21, 2008 at 10:01 PM
It infuriates me when I see responses like " That's why they went out of business.".
That's NOT why they went out of business. They were a wonderful manufacturer with incredible employees who stood by their product and their compnay. They were loyal and hard-working. This company went gone because people have stopped buying quality and have instead gone to quantity. Yes, you can buy an Asian-made crib for 400 dollars...sure can. But what is it made of? Do you know who made it? Do you know what types of glues were used, what type of stains were used?
No. Morigeau made their product using hardwoods and wood by-products. Thye offered inexpensive lines and boutique-grade lines. They closed for the same reason so many wonderful small businesses have been closing. Because no one supports quality anymore. They want it cheap and fast. We all run to the internet for a good deal. We think of it this way...no tax and no shipping, right? Cheaper and faster, right? That's exactly how companies and stores lose their customer base. No one can keep up with cheaper and faster. You see a product at a small business for 10 bucks more than you saw it online plus they charge tax. Where do you think you're going to buy it?
I know where I'm buying it. I'm buying where I can return it if I don't like it or it doesn't fit or it breaks down and I need it fixed right away...the brick and mortar store I bought it from.
Yes, the product costs more.
But remember this.....
Cheap is usually expensive in the long run....you get what you pay for.
Unfortunately, cheap is going to win out and those stores, those manufacturers and those products that stand the test of time will eventually suffer the consequences.
Thank you for your time.

I'm glad I had the foresight to order the daybed sidebar WITH the crib when we bought it. It's sad to hear they closed. They made a superior product; one worth the price.

I'm in search of the toddler daybed conversion piece for the 2500 series crib (the 250 style). Unfortunately, it's not just taking a piece off like the sleigh bed, but a necessary full piece. I thought I had it, but turns out I only had the full size conversion - which I don't even want! If anyone has info/has this piece and no longer needs it, pls reply as I'd offer a nice price for it. Thanks.
Posted by: Suzanne | February 17, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Suzanne, I don't have the toddler conversion piece but my wife and I are desperately seeking the full size conversion kit that you referenced as not even wanting it. We have been looking all over for this kit and cannot find it anywhere. Like many others have noted, parts were ordered on a need basis so very few, if any, inventoried parts. Please reply to my email at joelmarler@comcast.net if you would like to sell this kit.

Hi, I'm also looking for the 5000 series conversion kit (to a full bed). If you have one in chocolate, I'd be happy to buy it from you. I've looked everywhere. Does anyone know if any other conversion kits (maybe the Di Vinci?) work on the crib?
Posted by: Shamika Parab | March 01, 2009 at 08:12 PM
Help, I'm looking for a tiny little "slider' thing that the crib slides up and down on and can't get it anywhere. Without it the crib is useless. Need it for May!
Posted by: Krista Carpenter | March 04, 2009 at 04:07 PM
Those looking for a conversion kit, if you are handy, you can probably just get a metal bed frame and then attach the headboard and footboard to the frame. Its not ideal, you will need to use a boxspring (and a bedskirt) but at least you will get to use the headboard and footboard. You can also find on ebay metal rails that can be attached to crib headboards and footboards with screws. Again, not desgined for morigeau, you will need a boxspring but better than throwing the crib away.
Posted by: Greg | March 16, 2009 at 08:48 AM
Krista, not sure what slider you are looking for. You can try ebay for universal crib parts to see if you can find the slider you need.

Looking for a conversion kit for the 1900 series crib. However, I will settle for a scanned copy of the installation instructions/assembly instruction manual!

Posted by: Karen | June 05, 2009 at 10:26 AM
God, I'm glad I insisted on getting the conversion kit when I ordered my son's bedroom set in 2005! He has the 793AD from the 1900 collection in Chocolate stain. We purchased through the buying club, Direct Buy and saved heaps off of boutique retail. The pieces were incredible-- high quality and visually impressive.
Yet in Dec 2006 when I was expecting twins and needed two cribs and the matching casegoods, all did not go well. My order ended up in limbo for about six weeks. It wasn't until mid Jan. that Direct Buy informed me that Morigeau-Lepine had held the order because they wanted to know if I was interested in purchasing more elaborate (and expensive)drawers for the cribs! I was infuriated. It was like the up sell was more important than the timeliness of completing my order.
I blame Direct Buy for the delay as well. Despite the savings, the chain of processing orders is long and convoluted. I knew I would deliver the twins well before my march 10th due date and it was mid Jan! Sadly, I had them cancel my order of well over $3,000!
Ultimately we went with items at Babies R' Us. We couldn't help but feel guilty, as our oldest had this striking, high quality furniture and our two newest joys had lesser quality pieces. The twins arrived in perfect health on Feb. 12, 2007 and besides being over joyed with my darlings I was pretty glad we didn't try to continue the order and its 8 wk. processing time.
Just this spring hubby and I were on Direct Buy's members' site and couldn't find Morigeau-Lepine in the youth furnishing section. Hubby called DB and was told ONLY that they no longer carried the brand. We actually thought that our canceling a order might have facilitated a break in the buying club's relationship with M-L. :)
Imagine my surprise in learning they are "no more". I actually got out a catalog I still had. All their numbers are disconnected or reassigned. The website is a dead link. Truly sad and telling of a down economy. God bless them for not cutting quality to boost their own profit. I don't think they were EVER under a recall.
I just can't believe that there was no investor interested in purchasing this outstanding company. Again, truly sad and telling.

I have a crib with full conversion kit that I would like to sell. It is 4 years old and in excellent condition. All parts present, including wheels and full bed conversion kit. I believe it is a 7000-series (arched top with 2 small oval openings) in honey finish. I can email photos to those interested. We used it as a crib, then took off the rail to use as a day bed. We were ready convert it to a full-sized bed but just realized that the kit converts to a double bed - not a twin (duh). We don't want to take up the extra space with the double.
Contact kndspd@snet.net if interested.

Hey there, Jen asked in May of 2009: 'Does anyone know what size mattress these cribs take. My mattress is 52 wide and there are large gaps in the connor. I can put my hand down easily.'
I'm not sure what model you have, but the envelope that holds the paperwork for our model #265 says 69cm (27 1/4") x 131cm (51 5/8"). I would imagine that all cribs would be around the same. If there are large gaps, perhaps the corner bolts are not tight enough.

Hi, I noticd many people looking for a conversion kit. I got my conversion kit at mother's choice in toronto. Funny enough I live in Markham and my friend in Texas told me she ordered hers from these guys! Anyway,I called in and they were great! I couldn't figure out my model number and they identified my crib from a picture I emailed them! Its nice to see a store trying to accomidate all of those people with this beautiful furniture. It would be a shame to have to dump such a beautiful bed because of the rails. I'm very sad to see such a good company go under since they tried to keep Canadian products. I wonder what that says about our population's loyalty to this fine country.
Here is the phone number i have 416-285-0334
Good luck!

Such a shame.
My wife and I told the sales person that we wanted good furniture made in North America and this was the company we went with. This was April 2008. Little did we know two months later it would be over. So sorry for all the craftsmen and employees. This is great furniture. The Asian stuff can't compare.
Just a shot in the dark here but - does anyone know where we can get the 8800 Night Table (8841L) in Natural? It would be a miracle but stranger things have happened.
All the best.

I spoke to two suppliers, one in the states and one in Toronto who have converstion kits for a number of the Morigeau Lepine cribs, inlcuding the 2800 series.
In Toronto you can call Mother's Choice at 416285 0334, she's selling them for $229.
In the US, you an email Mory at mory@childrensisland.net. He's overpriced but seems to have everything...though I would check first. He says "we have The full kit is $299 plus $50 S&H FedEx, which includes two rails, two cross bars, and two crossbar legs.
You need to purchase two pieces of MDF from your local Home Depot to install them on top of your rails." So maybe it is not a full kit if you need to purchase wood. You can call him at 858-689-9998
There is also someone on a woodworking site who says they have the instructions. If i can download I will post here later.

I noticed a number of people are looking for the the little plastic pieces that hold the drop sides on MP cribs in the tracks. I had the same problem and my solution was to have some made. I have some extras for sale: kevin@kriselrock.com

I have a Morigeau Lepine crib - I believe it's the 288 version in toffee and eggshell. Does anyone have a conversion kit for this bed that they are looking to sell or has anyone had experience purchasing this through Mory at Children's Land?

It appears I have a morigeau 295 crib. manufactured in Sept of 1998. We purchased it used & the seller did not know the brand name. I just stumbled across the brand name stamped underneath the headboard. That is the same place I found the number "#.295" stamped...which I am guessing is the model number? Anyway, the seller did not have instructions for the crib & it was not set up at time of purchase. Does anyone here have instructions for how to set up this crib. I know it's a long shot, but it cant hurt to ask!
Thank you
