I have had the cot for 1 year now and its very sturdy, easily moved it from room to room without wheels with a helping hand. Instructions were clear and simple to build. The finish was perfect. I was worried about wooden cots chipping and splinters, nips of the skin whilst baby was in there ect but this cot has been built and finished to a high standard. Was and still is a great size for my 17 month old. Did not use the height adjuster as I bought it when my baby was 6 months old Im sure its perfect for newborns as it has quite a few different height settings but I just set it up to the lowest level.
