The Nest Handcrafted Bed
Montessori-inspired solid oak children's daybed & cot with full wrap-around safety spindles and three deep under-bed storage drawers.
Indicative bespoke pricing based on solid timber specifications. Custom dimensions, timber species, and configurations tailored to your exact floor plan.
Designed to transition effortlessly from nursery cot-bed to childhood daybed and reading nook, The Nest Handcrafted Bed is built from solid French Oak with zero toxic finishes. Full-height cylindrical hardwood dowel spindles wrap securely around the back, sides, and front guard rail—leaving a welcoming, child-friendly entry opening on the right so little ones can climb in and out safely. Beneath the sturdy ventilated mattress platform sit three extra-deep, full-extension pull-out storage drawers with smooth recessed cut-out hand pulls, providing generous space for bedding, toys, and storybooks. Every edge and spindle is hand-sanded to a silky radius and sealed with 100% VOC-free Rubio Monocoat Pure oil (certified to European Toy Safety Standard EN 71-3).
