FAQ
What is the typical lifespan of a solid wood cot?
Solid wood Cots can typically last 5-10 years with regular care, provided they are protected from damp and excessive sunlight. The quality of construction and how well it's maintained will significantly impact its longevity.
What kind of finish is applied to the solid wood?
Most models feature a durable, child-safe lacquer finish that protects the wood while remaining easy to wipe clean. This finish is designed to resist scratches and stains, but we recommend regular dusting.
Are these cots suitable for newborns?
While these cots meet safety standards for general use, it's recommended to transition your baby to a lower-level cot bed once they can roll over or attempt to sit up. Always supervise your child closely.
What mattress size is required?
These cots are designed to accommodate standard single mattresses, typically 90cm x 190cm. Please check the product specifications for exact dimensions before purchasing a mattress.
How easy are these cots to assemble?
Assembly times vary depending on the model, but most come with clear instructions and all necessary fixings. Some models may require a Phillips head screwdriver – ensure you have one handy.
Are the legs adjustable?
Leg height adjustments may be available on select models to level the cot on uneven floors. Check the product details for specific features before purchasing.
What is the maximum weight capacity of these cots?
The maximum weight capacity varies by model, typically around 12 months or 20kg. Always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for accurate details.
Can I paint or varnish a solid wood cot?
While possible, we advise against applying any further finishes as it could compromise the structural integrity and void any warranties offered by the manufacturer.
What is included in the delivery?
Typically, deliveries include the assembled cot and all necessary packaging materials. However, check your order confirmation for specific details regarding accessories or tools included.
How do I clean a solid wood cot?
Regular dusting with a soft cloth is recommended. For spills, wipe immediately with a damp (not soaked) cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
