Great product but disappointed by the paint..., 1 Mar. 2012

I did quite a bit of research before ordering this cot to go by the side of our bed. The first thing that disappointed me was that one of the wheels didnt lock in to the frame, meaning if you need to pick the cot up (for example, to lock it in to place over the side of your bed) the wheel falls off. Secondly one of the security locks, which is designed to prevent someone from being able to move the sliding side up was jammed, meaning that someone could remove the side simply by sliding the side rather than first having to disengage the 'lock'.. It took me a while to realise that both of these problems were caused by the white paint job on the item, the wheel because excess paint was stuck in the hole preventing the wheel from locking into place and on the lock, because there was some paint in the back somewhere preventing the lock from going back in properly so it could spring out.

It is still a great product, if a little bit of a faff to build. I would definitely buy the...

All sorts of issues, 5 Jun. 2014

When I received the co-sleeper it was in terrible condition. Not only was it badly discoloured and chipped, but a piece of the co-sleeper was entirely broken in half! Also assembling this crib is quite difficult (think IKEA x2) - and while trying to screw in the screws, the head (of the screw) totally wore out making it impossible to complete the job properly, they really should improve on the quality of metal used in making these screws. Overall I'm pretty disappointed. The co-sleeper did not fit properly onto my bed even after checking the measurements prior to buying it, and the mattress is of really poor quality. Don't mean to sound like a drag but for this price I expected better. Would not buy again.
