However, it does come at the more expensive end of the spectrum, but there are a lot of cheaper cots on the market that still feel as solid and well-made.
Another alternative is the Snuz sleepi V3 that is available in natural wood and three finishes inspired by Scandi. It comes with four levels of mattress in cot mode which is a step up over the three levels that many cots have. It's easy to assemble, has lots of storage space, and has practical hanging rails that can be used on both sides. It can be converted into a toddler bed by removing a tiny section of the side panels, which is simple and secure to do.

Our top pick for the best crib bed is the Mamas & Papas Coxley, which offers a stylish, neutral aesthetic and a simple design that won't look dated in the years to follow. It has three adjustable base levels for an ideal sleep, teething rails, and a storage drawer that is handy. We like that the mattress is standard size, which makes the process of buying bedding a lot easier.
Alternatively, if you're going for a more Scandi-style look, the Thuma Sleepi V3 is a top choice. It was a hit with former Strategist writer Leah Muncy, who "despises assembly furniture so much that she was once contemplating calling off a move just to avoid the dismantling and reassembling of a 14-piece metal bed frame." This crib is light, despite its solid and veneered American white oak construction. It is also a low-profile design that allows you to reach for your child. It took Muncy less than 20 minutes to assemble, and the pieces fit easily and smoothly.
