Boori

About

Ask an Australian parent to name a cot brand and Boori is usually the first out of their mouth. It's been furnishing nurseries here for decades, and there's a reasonable chance someone in your family already owns a piece of it, still standing, still in use. An Australian Name Built on Timber Boori is an Australian brand, and it has stayed close to what it's good at rather than chasing every category. Solid timber construction, finishes that suit local homes, and cots sized for Australian mattresses, which sounds obvious until you've tried to fit a locally bought mattress into a cot designed for another market. The finish names give you the palette straight away: Barley, Almond, Blueberry, Cherry, Pebble, Truffle. Muted and warm rather than stark, and consistent enough across ranges that a cot bought this year still sits comfortably beside a dresser bought two years later. Furniture Designed to Change Jobs What we rate most about Boori is that almost nothing in the range is single-purpose. The cot beds convert as your child grows, and a toddler guard panel takes them through the stage between cot sides and an open bed, which is exactly when most families would otherwise be buying something new. The storage changer is a chest of drawers with a change top rather than a change table that becomes useless at eighteen months. Even the bassinet has its own fitted mattress and protector made for it, so the small pieces work together properly. Timber is what makes this possible, since a solid frame takes being dismantled, moved and rebuilt in a way a pressed panel does not. A Boori Piece for Each Stage The first months: the Tidy Bassinet with its matched mattress, plus the Halo net and stand for warm nights. Compare it against other bassinets and cradles . The cot years: the Turin, Daintree, Casa and Natty sit across our cots range, with the Turin Compact worth a look if the room is tight, alongside other compact cots . Nappy changes: the Natty Storage Changer and the 3-Tier
