Nursury Furniture
Hi ladies
I hope you and bumps are all well.
I was looking for some advice on nursury furniture.
I have been to babies r us and liked some of the cots and matching items there, but at mothercare, I wasnt so impressed with the quality.
We have a budget of around ??500 for everything and the only thing we liked in mothercare was ??1500!!!
Can any of you reccomend any good brands/deals./quality of items you have?
I really appreciate the help.

I have been thinking about getting a cot i like and seperate furniture from somewhere like ikes, but then they wont match? Im not great at the interior design thing, so I dont want a crap nursury!!!
Does it matter if they dont match?!

I am know it's too soon to talk about this for me but we liked a Cot in Mother Care that turns into a cot bed and as we rent we already have a lovely wardrobe in there that we will be using and it's huge so will last and we are just buying a 5 set of draws from Argos I know it wont really match but it's all the same colour wood and they are too young at first to even care.
We also got a chair and stool for ??100 if you want details.

Thats what budget I had in mind too but verywhere seems so expensive, I think they wop on a few extra hundred ?? because it's for a baby!!!
Maybe you could see if you have a babystore near you that lets you pay something each week? we have one in town that stocks all the named brands like mamas and papas and they ask for a 10% deposit and then you can pay as much or as little as you like.
I would agree with mousenose about the size of the furniture though. Most wardrobe's I have seen are more like tallboys. I have a spare wardrobe in another bedoom so I plan on just buying a cot with a chest of drawers.
Happy Shopping !!!!

We've just recently bought some cupboards for the walls but other than that we havent really needed anything else.
I'd also recommend getting normal size furniture that will last beyond the baby years to save money in the long run. We havent found any need for a wardrobe yet and Ollie is almost 2,but Im sure others will say they need one, it's all dependant on the person you are and how you like to be organised - we just fold Ol's clothes up and put them in the drawers
didnt need/want a chair - the bed was more than enough for me, or the couch, with just cushions or pillows propping me and baby up... a chair was an item we havent got room for or money to spend on... ;\)

Really loving all the responses and is nice to see im not the only one thinking long and hard about this!
I have been thinking, if i got wardrobe and drawers from Ikes, I would have more to spend on a cot bed and get a better quality one as this will be used for longer and also, the fully size other items.
Sorry if im rambling, just thinking out loud with you girls!
