    fair call bath

    elli - i may be mistaken - boori is made from australian timber, and the website is Au based.

    it all comes with a five year manufacturers warranty - that's pretty impressive by toda'ys standards

    The Boori range has always been of fantastic quality & I personally am happy to pay for quality ,however i think a 30% increase in price in one go is a little steep, especially when there is more things to buy for bubs then just a cot!

    I think you're right Beeg, a 30% hike is going to make it inaccessible to a whole lot more people.

    They are lovely aren't they.

    Maybe with the current economic downturn/crisis consumers will have to get used to this kind of thing happening... be prepared to pay more or see the entire company fold I'd be devestated if Emmaljunga folded... no other pram company makes a pram with as much actual metal as Emma... the rest are just too plasticy. I think as consumers we are just going to have to assess our priorities a bit more carefully... choose quality over quantity... I don't think we can have both for much longer. It's going to be hard for many people i agree... but ideally people will opt for quality (they won't be able to afford to keep buying replacements, like the old days, things HAD to last)... and ideally companies producing poor quality products will fold... not the ones making high quality products. Here's hoping anyhow.
