Babymore Eva Sleigh Cot Bed White - Drop Side Bed With Mattress Included, Baby Cot Bed With Teething Rail & Drawer, Convertible to Toddler Bed & Day Bed,| 3 Adjustable Bed Base Positions (White)

After months of shopping around for a cot I found it really difficult to find one that would fit our nursery. In the end I gave up because they were all at least 10cm too big, or in the case of a sleigh style 15-20cm too big.That was until I found this cot.Initially I saw it for sale on Wayfair but it didnt come with a mattress, that was extra. It would have worked out £4 cheaper to purchase the cot and mattress from Wayfair but having never used them before I was unsure what their return policy was or how good they were should I encounter a fault.I read the reviews and took into consideration the cot may be a little difficult to put together but I was up for the challenge.The cot arrive much sooner than expected. Initially at the unboxing stage everything was very well packaged, though the parts felt a bit flimsy and cheap. This concern was laid to rest once the cot was fully assembled as it now feels very sturdy, all apart from the drop side, it's okay but in my opinion could do with being more sturdy.Building the cot wasnt exactly straight forward and I had to use both the YouTube Video and paper manual to work out what was going on. In all it took me about 90minute to do, and in that time i had take it apart again several times as things were the wrong way round etc.Whilst constructing the cot I found the centre support had a hair line split in the wood and the drop side cot had a poor finish to the right side bar of the drop side, there was a lack of wood filler and paint, clearly exposing the join which made it look unsightly. I contacted the seller who called me first thing the following morning and agreed to send me the spare parts out. The seller was polite and friendly. The parts arrived the next day after speaking with the seller about this.Despite a few niggley problems with this cot at first, which the seller was very quick and willing to resolve, I am really please with it.Overall the cot is lovely, the mattress seems nice also.Only time will tell if the baby likes it too!

This is a great crib. I was looking for a crib with a drawer as well as a drop side and was happy to find this one. It took about 2 hours to make with the help of grandad and looks fantastic.It is very sturdy, the mattress is comfortable and the drawer underneath is spacious. I was worried that my co-sleeping baby wouldn’t take to it - so far we’ve tried the Chicco Next to Me and the Halo Swivel Bassinet both of which have not been a success, which I imagine in part is due to the mattress not feeling too comfortable but this however has been a success (with a considerably thicker mattress).The only downside is that the drop side does make a fairly loud ‘click’ when pulling back up into the lock position but with the white noise playing loudly it doesn’t seem to disturb my sleeping baby.I highly recommend

We are expecting two more grandchildren this year. Previously I used a travel cot when baby 1 arrived but some years have passed and I wanted something more 60+ friendly to avoid lowering a sleeping little one to floor level. So I looked around for a cot bed, with a drop side. I'm not very tall and the lack of a dropside can lead to similar difficulties when the mattress is set at the lowest position for an older baby / toddler. Due to the change in safety regs for dropside cots mainly in the USA, there are not so many dropside cots on the UK market. I chose this Eva Sleigh Cot bed as it fitted all my requirements. Delivery was in the promised time scale and by Tuffnells. I was notified of a delivery date but we were going to be away so I tried to rearrange on line - not possible, I rang the courier and it was not possible to rearrange by phone either. I was told a missed delivery card would be left and we could rearrange. When we arrived home on evening of the delivery date the mattress and the cot box were propped by our side gate. There was a hole in the outer cardboard packaging but fortunately the contents were undamaged. It took the two of us just over an hour to assemble - a ratchet was really helpful in tightening the fixing screws as doing them by hand with the enclosed Allen key would have been much more time consuming. The finished cot looks great and exactly as I hoped. All the pieces were enclosed an undamaged. As a previous review advised, we sorted and labelled the piles of different length screws etc before we started and this really helped avoid any confusion especially as they look different to the instruction booklet images. . My only negative comment and the reason for one less than 5 stars, is that the drop side mechanism seems overly complex and rather clunky. We had to resort to watching the YouTube video of assembling this section as the booklet instructions are not that clear. Looking back I wish I had not sold my own childrens drop side cots 30 years ago! I think this cot is a good buy and purchased with the foam mattress ( which is hard not squishy ) mattress waterproof and fitted sheets, was a very reasonable price.
