The Sun Troll Cot from Danish by Design has honestly been one of my favourite nursery pieces so far. The quality feels really premium — solid timber, sturdy once assembled, and it doesn’t wobble or creak when you lean on it (which matters a lot when you’re constantly checking on a newborn at 3am). I love that it has a clean, timeless look rather… Read more · 1
than a bulky “baby” style, so it actually suits the room and will still look nice as baby grows.
The adjustable mattress heights are super practical for the newborn stage and later when they start pulling themselves up, and it feels very safe and well-made overall. It was also relatively straightforward to put together compared to other baby furniture we’ve built.
Very noisey and creaky – Bought the cot a few months ago but find it to be very noisey. Every time baby moves it creaks and wakes him up. Never had this with any previous cots Is this a new issue as I just read a similar review? And any way of fixing it as we love our cot but the noise is an issue. Show details
Looks nice and love big mattress – We've put the cot together and used a growbright mattress as we prefer a more breathable natural option. Cot was creaky but we added some gaffer tape between some joints to limit rubbing. Love how big it is, some friends are growing out of their cots at 1.5, but not ready for toddler beds. We’re far from growing out of it! Show details · 1
Great cot bed set – We bought the Cot and drawers with change table on top with the theory that the cot bed would last. Our little one is nearly 5 and is still in the cot bed. We’ve never had any issues with the cot or the drawers and found that the larger sized drawers are perfect. We had to order sheets for the mattress from UK stores (marks and spencer) but they… Read more · 2
offer free delivery to Australia over Xmas so this wasn’t an issue and we stocked up. A little annoying not being able to buy sheets in Australia but not the end of the world. I would recommend this set as we found it to be sturdy and hard wearing (5 years in and no issues). Hoping to now sell it on as we need big girl furniture.

Troll Drawers nearly dropped and clipped our family's feet – First impression, it looked quite nice and the baby direct store assistants were super excited to sell this combination set to us. However, things started to get bad and even worse. Drawers were hard to close and I started to wonder why. For a drawer like this heavy without any clothes inside had only two x 1cm screws on each side to support it.… Read more
What are you guys thinking? How do you even design this?
Also, it can't hold any clothes which is design flaw , it is not child safe at all and the drawers are super heavy on its own already. The other night the drawer collapsed when we left open half away and my 1 year old toddler was crawling right beneath it. And it was so lucky the drawer was half hanging and it was so close it would have caused unwanted injuries. This was a close call!
She's a fricken baby for God's sake!!!! If I weren't there to look，who is there to blame if injuries occured?
We are extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with this product and we might consider taking further action as there is other family out there that could have bought this and potentially caused harm to other young families.
Not sure if anyone would care about this on this forum and I guess it's also our fault as well to get sucked into this appearance and such super hard sell tactics to have purchased this product without a doubt, it is the worse decision I have made.
We will be never making these kinds of mistakes again to trust these "Chinese" brand for not so cheap price. Further more, even IKEA stuff is so much better and well thought for all safety measures, it's bang for buck and designs are getting better and better.
Happy to take questions as I will post this on other forums that sell baby products to assist other families to avoid buying such brands on the market!!!! If you can think of anything please do not hesitate to contact me via message
This needs to be vocalised and listed everywhere else to make aware of this kind of products!
Kind regards, Jun.
Drawers broken... again – We bought the set including the cot, change table topper and the chest of drawers after seeing them in store at Baby Bunting. Went to assemble the cot and the holes were in the wrong spots and unfortunately BB (after taking photos to show the issue) couldn't get a new cot so we had to get a different brand that looked sort of similar and pay the… Read more
difference. Drawers have been horrible. Can't even tell you the amount of times the drawers either get stuck closed or open. Writing this as currently babies clothes are on the bedroom floor as my husband has had to take the drawers out again, lost count how often this has happened. Have resorted to now gluing drawers together as there is no thread left to put the rails on the drawers back. Really wanted to love this but now trying to find alternatives to use longer term. Best part has been the change table top attachment which is really handy and is a really good height for us.
Hi Bianca. I am sorry to hear that you are having… Read more
Nice design but safety issues – Beautifully designed (and at its price you would expect that) but the width between each of the rods on the side is too large and my daughter constantly gets her legs stuck/ caught. She moves around a lot when she sleeps and I’m often woken by her screams for me to come and free her limbs that have been wedged. The rods should be closer together. Such a shame as it’s great otherwise. Would not recommend :(

Troll Sun cot & toddler bed conversion, dresser and change table – We bought all three items for our first baby. We liked the simple, clean look at a reasonable price. They have all lasted well, 5.5 years and two babies later. The only issues we've had are that the drawers on the dresser dont close all the way too easily, and the odd mattress size for the cot has been super frustrating finding sheets for in… Read more · 2
Australia. The larger sized sheets still make the flimsy mattress supplied bend, and it was difficult to find a custom fit mattress. Still like the solid feel and the fact that there is no dangerous drop side.
Drawers do not work properly – I loved this dresser in the shop because of the size of the drawers and the fact that the product seemed like really good quality. However, the drawers have never worked properly, and I've broken many nails just trying to get them open. So much for "soft close"!! I was happy to pay extra for a quality product and it's only caused me frustration. Perhaps we just got a dodgy one? Show details
Troll Cot and Dresser – We bought the troll sun cot and dresser. The cot is wonderful and being used by my second child now. The dresser looks great but could perhaps do with a few more screws to hold it together. Show details · 1
Love our entire Troll Sun nursery – We purchased the cradle, cot, change table and chest of drawers for our first baby born in September 2017 and we are incredibly happy with the craftsmanship of every piece. The nursery not only looks great but each piece is extremely sturdy and well built, nothing flimsy about this range at all. Yes the mattress for both the cradle and cot are… Read more
thin but if you do your research you will see that they do meet Australian standards and they have not been a cause of concern for us. Our baby has slept through from very early on in both the cradle and cot so mustn’t be too uncomfortable either! We have absolutely no regrets in purchasing this range.
Great looking cot, terrible mattress – Like the other reviews, the mattress is flimsy and thin, and it has not even been 12 months of use! Will not be purchasing the same mattress from the company who supplies it. Looking into getting one custom made. Complete waste of money as the ‘included’ mattress is somewhat of poor quality. Should have bought a Boori.
Love the cot and dresser, mattress is terrible – I absolutely love the sun troll cot, it looks great and the dresser is amazing, the draws are so smooth and I love the overall design. The mattress is terrible and we have since purchased a made to measure mattress that is nice and firm, the mattress should not be sold as its way too soft. I would encourage anyone that is considering buying this cot to purchase a separate mattress which are around $130. Show reply

Troll sun dresser - Change table – I found the change table attachment very impractical because the drawers don't sit flush with the wall. The change table top (albeit removable ) sticks out the back so things are constantly falling down the back of it so you cant have your accoutrements at hand because they fall down the back. Very annoying
Not good – I bought a Troll Sun Cot for my newborn daughter; my son 20mths currently uses a Boori cot. The Troll Sun cot looks amazing but the mattress is too soft & an odd size so regular size sheets are loose on the mattress meaning baby can grab them & creating a potential hazard. It was fine when baby was a newborn and didn't move but now that baby is… Read more
commando crawling in bed & rolling, the softness of the mattress creates give when baby moves meaning they can grab the sheets. I have tried tying sheets under mattress, tried different material sheets, different size sheets but this is still the case. Also the cylinder rails look fabulous but baby can hold on to them so you will need a cot bumper
Paint chipping – Purchased in 2015, and little one only used for 1 month and paint started chipping from edges, and change table had paint cracking along the grain of the wood.. Ended up receiving full refund. They where happy to just replace problem areas but I requested refund as wasn't interested in pulling apart and rebuilding to only have more problems occur later on.
Great cot – I fell in love with the Troll Sun Cot when I saw it online. Seeing it in person confirmed how much I liked it. I'm very short have no trouble putting my daughter in and out. We used the Troll Sun Bassinet until our daughter started rolling so have only used the cot on the lower level. Not having a drop side has not been an issue for me at all.… Read more
I've actually found this cot is much better for me and my height than taller ones that have a dropside.
Fantastic – I purchased this cot for my newborn, in a lovely white wash colour, cot is extremely solid, sides don't come down but easy to pick up Bub not to much bending, cot has 2 adjustable levels, and very easy to assemble, cot came with mattress included it was great value.
Beautiful and sturdy cot – I bought this cot online from minimee.com.au without any trouble and I love it! It's absolutely gorgeous, I bought the white wash option which is a lovely light birch colour. It looks a lot more expensive than it is - I couldn't justify the Stokke or Oeuf, and when this arrived I liked it better. It comes with it's own mattress as it's a… Read more
non-standard length, the Aden and Anais and any sheet that fits the Boori classic should fit it.
It's important to note that it doesn't have a drop-side if that's important to you (these have now been banned in the US), but it does have a higher level for smaller babies and a lower level for when they're bigger. I love that it converts into a low-down toddler bed too that is just as gorgeous - although you do need to purchase an extension kit for it (I did).
Most importantly though, baby loves it and doesn't seem to get her arms and legs stuck in it as much. I couldn't be happier with this cot - I love it so much I've been making my own fitted sheets for it. Highly recommend.
Love this cot and chest of drawers/change table – I spent a lot of time hunting for the perfect cot and chest of drawers/change table combo for our nursery and am very glad I came across the Troll Sun. I really wanted a chest of drawers with a changing tray on top so that we didn't need a separate change table in the nursery, and this product is exactly what I was after. The changing tray is also… Read more
able to be removed when it is no longer needed, which will leave us with a fantastic set of drawers. The furniture is modern and stylish and is excellent quality. Very happy with it. Note: the sides of the cot don't drop. This is not currently an issue, but may become one when the mattress is in the lower position. Looks great, inexpensive and easy to assemble
