there ... just thought I would let you know in my travels today DP and i questioned the Boori cots and tested the wood itself. Much to our disappointment, without ANY pressure what-so-ever DP ran his fingernail along the wood and sure enough a scratch line showed up, I pressed on with with my nail and it dented!

Speaking to the lady instore she said Boori has split into '2' companies where the wood comes from overseas and the cots are painted here, the wood USED to be sourced from New Zealand and was New Zealand hardwood, but since the company has split into '2' they outsourced to obviously a cheaper option (and less quality) to an asian country.

We will not be buying a Boori - the representative said Boori is not what they USED to be, before the company split they were fabulous quality, now its cheap crap sold at a ridiculous price.

We will be buying a Love n Care sleigh bed, they retail for around $700 the love n care also felt sturdier than the Boori.

Hopefully those who have purchased the Boori dont have any issues with their purchase!
