A well-made, sturdy cot – We've had this cot for over 9 years now and it has been used for 4 children (new mattresses purchased for each child). Apart from the scratches, the cot is still in great condition and continues to be used. Very sturdy and well-made. Would highly recommend Boori to all my friends.
Beautiful cot – I love my cot. The only issues I have had with it was that when it was delivered, the sliding pin was broken. I emailed the baby shop and Boori contacted me straight away. They posted me a replacement sliding pin within a couple of days together with instructions on how to fix it. The drop side needs a bit of muscle to lower it, and when you… Read more
slide it back up it makes a loud clicking noise, that sometimes startles my daughter.
One other issue is that standard size cot bedding doesn't fit, as it's a little wider than other cots. Various baby shops do sell compatible linen.
Other than that, I am very happy with it.
Strong and sturdy – We purchased this for my son 3 years ago and it's been brilliant. He is a super energetic boy who jumps in there a lot. It's held up perfectly! It would easily be passed down through multiple children and still be perfect. We bought through baby bunting and priced matched from an online store so got it at a very affordable price.

Warning to check side rails! – Purchased a Boori seigh cot cost me $1100 brand new, my daughter only started sleeping in the cot after 11 months due to her being in a bassinet! So after 2 months of her using it i woke to a terrible site a moment i will never forget!! The side rail had completely come free from the top of it and was sitting on the ground i jumped out of bed as… Read more
my baby had just started to wake up and went to sit up and lost balance and i just caught her before she would have hit her neck and head on the woodern bits of wood hanging everywhere, very distraught i rang the baby place i got it from and asked them for a refund as this cot had failed to meet the standards in keeping my child safe he said boori where going to contact me and speak to me, received a call later that day at 5:55 pm to say that they wont be replacing the cot and that they will send me 2 sides and too consider that they are $275 each and that they will be there in 3 days, i asked what my baby was to sleep in that night as i didnt even own a portable cot the response was to pull the broken side down, put the broken side up against the wall take the slats out put the mattress on the ground, not sids safe but ok!
The rails finally showed up 16 days later!
So just a warning check all the rails to all mothers and fathers using there products.
Wouldnt recommend spending the money on there products :)
Spare parts expensive - postage unbelievably slow - no really is laughable! – Don't anyone lose your screws whatever you do, you'll get stung where it hurts for a measly replacement and on top of that you have to wait while they bicycle courier it over ... a touch under $17 for 4 screws sent from interstate ... opportunists and nothing more ... absolutely terrible experience!
Even the first step is a disaster! – We bought a new boori plaza cot and the instruction sheet was really bad! Even my engineer husband find it hard to follow the instruction sheet. And the sliding part wasn't as smooth as we expected. No doubt the workmanship is great but the instruction sheet need a serious amendment!

Brilliantly simple – Really happy with this cot, I purchased it second had and it's in great condition, a credit to the quality of the product. Well built and sturdy, I know my children will be safe in this cot Show details · 1
Fantastic Cot! – Both myself and my little girl love her cot, very sturdy and strong. We bought ours second hand but with the nature of the cot it will last for ever! It was easy to buy a new mattress for which was fantastic. Would highly recommend a Boori Cot especially if you are planning on having multiple children to use it for.
Fantastic well made – We have had this cot for 6 years and it has been put up and down countless times for our 3 youngest kids and moving rooms etc. Still as fantastic as the day we purchased it. As well as the original mattress. Would purchase again my only regret is that I didn’t buy it with my first! Show details
Looks great, not built well to withstand toddler! – We purchased the boori cot 2 years ago and up until this point it's been really good. We don't slide the side up & down as we're both quite tall. Recently the side slats have been coming apart from the top and bottom railing and tonight, as my toddler leaned on the side the whole side fell apart, it seems the slats are just wedged in. Not the… Read more
quality you expect for the price you pay. I initially wanted Tasman Eco but hated the handles on the dresser, wishing I bought Tasman and just changed the handles. It seems to be sturdier and a better make.
Big, sturdy cot – Purchased the Country Classic cot in soft white for my daughter two years ago. When I first had her in it I though I was crazy to buy such a big cot but now that she's bigger and wants books and toys in there when going to sleep I don't regret it. It's really sturdy and solid and is pretty much in the same condition as when new and looks nice in her room. Would recommend.
regret buying boori quality expected for the cost is not there – I bought the boor classic cot and dresser from my baby warehouse in February paid for in full and asked for delivery as soon as available. The cot was in stock so got that on the day. Told that the dresser would be in by 6 may at the latest, thought at the time long lead time but that's ok... they didn't end up arriving until 22 may. The cot… Read more
the side is very stiff to raise and lower compared to the one in store, not sure if this is because the one in store has been raised and lowered so many times. the dresser there is a strip between the draws and cupboard that hasn't been stained and the first time I open one of the draws the knob cane off.
Went in to my baby warehouse re the dresser with the knob and photos, manager wasn't in told to email photos and they would call me. Didn't call me so I called 2 working days later, told that boor rep was coming on and they would call back after. Again no call back, 2 working days later I get an email from boor telling me that a warranty claim is in and asking for photos so I email the photos and they reply say they have those photos from my baby warehouse asking for different photos. So I call to ask what exactly they want, told the person I need to speak to is on the phone and will call me back... still waiting for a call finally turned up poor quality for cost, bad service
Classic, timeless and beautiful – This is a beautiful cot. My mother bought this for us I have to say that it is a wonderful feature in our nursery. It has a timeless and classic appearance, and it is very high quality. This is a good purchase if you want a cot that is neutral and durable. The matching change table makes a great set too. Appearance (timeless, classic), good quality

Excellent – Have used this cot for both of my boys and I can't fault it. Durable and reliable, I know this cot can withstand a terrorising toddler and still be functioning for my youngest who's still using it now. Bit expensive, but worth the investment for your child's safety. Looks great too and really completed the room. Can also be used as a converting… Read more
toddler bed which is handy for that stage where they're too big for a cot but not big enough for a proper bed. Well done Boori. Great design, reliable, strong, secure and safe Expensive but reasonable considering the costs these days
Wonderful Quality & Wonderful Company – We've had a Boori cot now for nearly 10 years and is still a beautiful, stylish bed for our youngest child. The longevity of the cot is testament to its design and durability. Even more impressive has been the exceptional customer service from Boori Australia (in particular Angela ) in helping us find/source replacement parts that went missing… Read more
during our recent house move. This sort of customer service certainly demonstrates the quality company Boori Australia really is. The customer service rep certainly went out of her way and is a credit to the organisation. Quality finish and style. Excellent after sales support from the Australian company.Peace of mind that the product will last.
Ok product – On the lowest position, the base doesn't go low enough or the sides don't go high enough as I would've liked (it's the only cot I've owned, so don't actually know if its the standard length). My son was able to climb out of the cot way before he was ready for a bed. Eventually had to take the sides off (safer than him constantly climbing out),… Read more
but now very hard to get him to sleep. Very stong even after getting a battering from my son jumping up & down on it. Still in perfect condition for my next child. My son was able to climb out of the cot
Boori Classic is great – My wife and I had a look at a lot of different cots. Boori has a great range and are very good quality. We particularly like and bought the Boori Classic cot because it has a really nice design which goes well with just about anything and of course you can use it as a cot or a small bed with side rails. Spending a little bit more for a cot that… Read more
will last a few children or one child up to about 5 years of age is the way to go. Appearance, structure, quality A little bit expensive
Sleeping soundly! – The sturdiness of this cot speaks for itself! Not only can my baby sleep soundly but so can I, knowing that my precious bundle of joy is comfortable and above all, safe. The timber is solid and I love that its from Australia. Even if bub is in one of those 'moods' and feels like letting us all know she's awake, the Boori Classic cot seems to be able to withstand anything! Highly recommended!!! Sturdy, solid and safe
Good – A good quality cot, if the manufacturers could do something to prevent the paint chipping off so easliy (or even if they supplied a small bottle of the stain/paint colour for touch ups) would give it 5 stars. Very solidly built, has good quality feel. Drop side mechanism works well - no sticking or rattly noises such as I have experienced with… Read more
other cots. Big size allows our toddler to fit comfortably. Paint easily chewed off and you can't attach chew guards to every bit of the cot so hard to prevent this. Our cot is white and seems to show the teeth marks/chips less than darker coloured cots (as the wood is light coloured underneath the paint). Bigger size means cheaper sheet sets won't always fit (but big size mattress has advantages too).
Fantastic investment! – I bought this cot in early 2003 before my first child was born. She used it up until she was nearly 4 years old, and still could have used it longer except we needed it for bub #2. He used it until he was nearly 4 too. I'm expecting #3 now (2012) and still have my Boori cot, and apart from the chew marks (thanks to my daughter) it's still in near… Read more
perfect condition, so very sturdy and well made. If this bub uses it until he/she is 4 (and looking at it I can't see a reason why not!)then I will have owned it for 13 to 14 years!! (Only need to replace the mattress)
Very much worth the investment! Very strong and sturdy, top quality and therefore lasts forver!! Looks beautiful (especially with a nice halo net!) , sliding mechanisim for drop down slide is safe (bub's fingers cant get stuck anywhere) Easy to put up and pull down, easy to use, toddler bed conversion plus larger size means that it will last for years The only thing I could put here is that it is a bit on the pricey side, BUT, in saying that if you keep it for future bubs or even if you sell it the 2nd hand value is still very good, so really, it's worth it!
Excellent – I really like this cot, as does my son. It is a great size and looks great. The one-handed drop side operates very easily and it is easy to change between the 2 heights. Although we did have to return the first one delivered due to dints and varnish flaws and this scratched easily so I have doubts about the varnish quality, especially for the… Read more
cost.
The optional tidy draw is also very handy and adds much needed storage.
Highly recommended! I like that it is larger, that the side has a one-handed mechanism and the style. Not much, possibly the timber is a little soft and easy to scratch.
Best cot ever – I love this cot, its solid and well made. The drop down side is so easy to do, and it can be done with one hand which is great if you have a sleeping baby in your arms. Best of all the cot converts into a toddler bed so can be used for many years. Converts into toddler bed giving it many years of use, Solid and well made

the perfect cot – i love this cot, i got it 6 years ago and it has lasted my 3 children( with a change of mattress), and i suspect it will last grandchildren! its east to use, easy to adjust and available in so many colours! its a perfect addition to any nursery! reliable, pretty, excellent for newborns to toddlers! we had some trouble with the place where we… Read more
brought it, there were no rails for the toddler bed in the box and it took 6 months for them to get them to us.
Excellent – It's solid, doesn't move around, coverts to a 'toddler bed' and I'll keep it for our next child. I know it'll stand the test of time (and children). I love that it's sturdy, looks great, has two bed heights, isn't on wheels (who wants to move a bed around anyway), and there's other matching furniture to buy None really except that we were given money as a gift otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it.
Excellent – Great cot. I have twins and my other cot is smaller, easier for bubs to get out, and the other cot also requires two hands to drop down the side rail. This is impossible when you have a baby in your arms. I would love to get rid of the other cot and buy another boori. Well worth the money, epecially if you plan on having more than one child,… Read more
it will certainly see you through many children Great size, sturdy, one handed mechanism to drop side down which is very important when you have a baby in your arms! expensive, no wheels
Excellent – It is a beatiful, quality product that comes in different finishes to suit your tastes and there are other pieces of furniture to match it. It is a little more expensive than other cots but I believe if you want quality you have to expect to pay for it. It is a good quality product. It is sturdy and was very easy to assemble. The two different… Read more
heights is great and the rail is easy to drop down. The fact that it changes into a bed is a great advantage also. Wheels would be handy to make moving it around a little easier although it is quite light weight.
Perfect – I have got the Boori Classic cradle, cot, changetable and chest of draws. I have had many people comment on how fantastic they look and how duarable they feel. Duarable and long lasting. Great for what you pay for them.
Excellent – I have the whole nursery in Boori furniture and the classic cot was the 1st item we purchased. Some people think that the price is prohibitive but if you look after it you will be able to sell it 2nd hand for a great return. Mine had been used for 3 kids, was 7 years old and I sold it for $300 which I think was a great investment. The… Read more
one-handed rail sliding is great if you are holding a sleeping baby in your arms, it's also very quiet. I'm so glad we bought this cot, it's been great for all 3 kids that used it. Great colour range
Great quality
Great prices when selling 2nd hand
One-handed side rail control
Base goes to 2 heights
Converts into a toddler bed The wood is soft and marks easily, especially once they start standing in the cot and chew the top rail
Great – Bedtime is the time your little one is out of site, this cot is so sturdy and well built I have no concerns with it whTsoever. It also looks lovely! Sturdy and reliable
Fantastic cot - great quality and so easy to use! – I bought a Boori Classic Cot second hand in the white colour. It had been used by 2 children and was 4 years old and was in as new condition, which I believe is in part a testament to the quality of Boori cots. It was easy to take apart and put back together and it is very sturdy. It is a good size cot and being a popular brand, was easy to find… Read more
the right size mattress and sheets. It is available in a range of colours and stains and the white coordinates well with other furniture in the room (some Boori but some other brands). Best of all is that it's easy to operate when holding bub in one hand. Easy to operate drop side panel with one hand, sturdy quality cot, lovely design, able to convert to junior bed with bed rails supplied Storage underneath is an additional cost
Excellent – I think its quality & style are great! I've used other cots & they are not as solid & not as good looking of course but I would say that they both do the job very nicely. So in choosing Boori, I think it's more the look then the functionality. Also, the baby probably don't know how to appreciate the bed so it's more to satisfy the parents than… Read more
benefits the baby. FYI, Kingparrot cots are made from the same manufacturer & costs a lot less and if you decide to pay the premium to get the soft white colour like me...have second thoughts because lightings at home may not be as good as in the shop & the colour doesn't really look as good, in my baby's room it looks very similar to a normal while colour Pretty. Roomy. Comfy for the bub. Good quality Expensive
Excellent – Well worth it if you are having more than one child. Our first child use it until 24 months and was not able to climb out. Has stood the test of time, my sister had it and gave to me when I was pregnant, its now over 8 years old and still going strong. Love the two matress heights. We would never have been able to afford the price
Excellent – We were looking for a decent long lasting cot nearly at every store. Most look cheap looking and the finished paint on most cots doesn't look promising to last. We then found the perfect cot and it was Boori. I love how it converts into a toddler bed which saves you money in the long run. Definately worth the money despite it being very… Read more
expensive.
Any Boori cot is recommended! I love how it's made from high quality wood and knowing the paint won't chip is an added bonus.
I love the style and feel of the cot, very smooth! Absolutely nothing!
Excellent – I thought this cot was very reasonably priced, i looked around a lot and wanted to buy a cot/toddler bed and this was my second choice but im really happy with it. i put the cot together on my own and only took me about half an hour. love how big it is and will definately last my baby well into her toddler years. great how u can buy the teething… Read more
rails to protect the wood. i love this cot, its very classic and in the white it really looks stunning the side rail is hard to manovure and is a bit noisy, so i just leave the drop side up.
Excellent – FANTASTIC!!! great looking, highly functional to suit from baby to preschooler.(my son was in it til he was 5). easy to use. i have even slept in it with him!! love it!!!! boori is a fantastic brand! changes into toddler bed, my son was in it til he was 4 yrs old. strong, sturdy. great looking cot. currently using for 2nd bub and looks like new. i… Read more
can even lay in it!! (53kg). great that u can choose to have the ends like the sides or filled in. great how you can have the bed at different heights to suit their development. comes with side rails for the toddler bed. beautiful design, easy to use!!
