Wife and I are looking at buying a crib and dresser from Redekers for our nursery room. We were quoted around $2,500 for both and was curious if anyone here has had any experience negotiating on their furniture. Is it unreasable to try an get 10% knocked off the price?

Good lord man. Why? Give your wallet a break and get something for 10% the cost at Target that works just as well.
Yeah, this. The kid is going to beat on it for a few years then outgrow it. Save the cash now and buy something nice when the kid is a little older and will treat it better and use it longer.
... unless you are planning on using it for like 10 kids, then fire away.
This, The wife got ours for 50 bucks off a swap site and it made it through both kids. F spending 2500 on that stuff.
My daughter says try Suite Dreams in Windsor Heights. They run specials over major holidays. She is almost as tight as her old man.
Kids will ruin everything you own. Seriously. Don't spend that much cash on something that will get destroyed. As a side, we bought our crib from Babies Are Us for ~$125 and our 3rd child is about to start using it. This thing has been beat up, disassembled/reassembled more times than I care to count, jump on and generally beat up for 4 years.
Did you add an extra 0 by mistake? $250 for both seems more reasonable for both. Like others have said, kids will beat up the crib and you will probably have some teeth marks on it once they start teething. Just my opinion but no reason to spend that much on nursery furniture.
I do believe that depends on the position during conception.
I have four kids and truer words have never been spoken. There is absolutely no sense in buying anything nice when you have kids. Some day I will own a pristine home with nice furniture, furnishings, etc. For the time being, however, I treat everything as being disposable.
You have to be willing to walk out the door. I was dealing with them and Homemakers and someone else.
I told them I was going to the Homemakers and see what they had & might be back. Started walking out the door and my wife said they don't have our name or number. I told her we can always come back. Just before we walked out, the salesman asked me for my name and number and said he would see if he could do any better. Got 5 miles down the road and got a call and they knocked off 10-15%.

Also be careful of the crib that turns into a toddler bed. That is all fine and good if you plan to only have one child or are careful to space them out so that one kid is entirely finished with it before you have another.
I don't know your financial situation, but if this is your first, you probably don't know how your financial situation will change in the coming years. I have a feeling you will wish you had spent about $1,800 less in the coming years if you make this purchase. Kids are expensive.

It is also dependent on how you behaved when you initially looked at it. When I look at things with my wife I always appear unsold on it because my wife has no poker face. If you both look all in from the start they know they have you and the chances of you actually walking are slim.

Double the asking price to make sure you get it. Only do that if you plan on loving your child, though.
