Hope you find something suitable Lenny! I totally understand what you're saying, I too am not a fan of the frilly ones . We were lucky enough to be given one that has been in DH's family for years, it is a very old (plain) cane one on a stand with wheels. Was very handy for moving around during the day, and he slept in it in our room at night until 6 months (when he outgrew it ). I hope you can find something similar!
