We bought our touchwood off trademe and it seems really sturdy. It is a sleigh style one and as sad as it may be to say it I have sat in it so i figure it is pretty sturdy.
I like that it can convert but I figure that wont be much of an option as by the time this baby is up to that stage the next one may be here, but I guess we will have to see.

Oh and the reason I was in the cot was that it was the easiest way for me to rub a coat of danish oil on the wood on the inside with my huge belly in the way. Just got a bit tricky to get back out. Thankfully hubby was around.

The sale was for the jolly jumper brand (I think). I got the sleigh one too. Shame it didn't come in white, as I really wanted a white cot, but I figure it saved me $500 over the one I wanted from baby factory, so it will do!

I just bought a cot off TradeMe and there were lots of Touchwood ones on there. They seem to be really sturdy and solid - though probably over the top considering it is a small baby/child that will be sleeping in it!
It is a beautiful solid rimu one - they don't seem to sell these new anymore - they sell pine stained ones now.

Yes. i have noticed that too Bel, the rimu ones sound nice but we missed out on one in Chch....forgot to bid. i definately want a touchwood (I think) and am going to try trademe first and then buy a new mattress. Feel more optomistic buying one now that Bub's "passed" its 20 week scan!!!! YAY.

Hi, just thought I would add, if you live in/near Christchurch, check out Pamco for cots/change tables etc. They have an excellent range of styles, and you can buy direct from their factory shop saving about $200 on shop prices. We have just ordered one from there, so can't comment on use yet, but they look pretty good. The website is: http://www.pamco.co.nz/
