The sides of the cot were low enough to allow our tester to easily step in and out when changing nappies or feeding babies.

The frame of the cot can be made of a variety of wood types, which can change the appearance and style. For instance, mahogany is a great choice. It has rich colors and can provide your nursery with a glamorous feel, whereas oak is a durable choice that is good for holding its shape. The wood is FSC certified and therefore eco-friendly.
