Mokee cot beds

12 replies

Hey everyone,

I am researching cot beds at the moment and need to buy two as I'm having twins. I really like the look of the Mokee mini cot beds but after some googling I've found some awful reviews about their delivery being slow and babies being left with nowhere to sleep. All of these reviews are from around 18 months ago and I can't find any more recent ones.

Has anyone had any experience with this company recently/would anyone recommend the Mokee cot beds?

This is the one just for reference: en.mokee.eu/products/mini-cot?variant=29500975808546&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqrb7BRDlARIsACwGad7FhlpUmFlvPhpaAzQtlKgd-UTjwhDABYsqV4qO4bTPHbwStYPZzv4aAlcUEALw_wcB

Thanks!

My experience is a bit out of date but we brought one a couple of years ago for DD - it's good, stylish and has lasted well, no complaints from me. Delivery was fairly slow even then but it was on the website about the manufacturing process and shipping so I was confused when looking at reviews about people expecting it to arrive in a matter of weeks when it clearly said 12 - 16 weeks lead time (this was probably 3 years ago now). At that time I think they had loads of good social media/press promotion and became a victim of their own success.

Thank you for replying! I'm confused because it currently says on the website that orders are dispatched next working day... it just sounds too good to be true!!

My SIL just ordered a Moses basket as a gift for us and it arrived within 2 days. Also look at Sprout (insta- sproutperks) because if you sign up for that you get discount on Mokee. Not affiliated in any way but I’ve already made back the £10 sign up fee!

My mini cot was delivered on Weds, its not been put up yet but looks nice from what I can see. Colour is lovely. We ordered it last Saturday so delivery was actually a couple of days later than they said but still arrived in plenty of time

I ordered one of the mini cots about 3 months ago for my October baby and it was delivered about 10 days or so later 🙂 I think it was shipped from Eastern Europe but the email came with tracking info so I was able to follow its journey. Easy to put up and looks lovely!

I ordered mine last month. The exact same one you have posted. I ordered it on the 21st August which was a Friday I think and it was delivered by Fed Ex on the 26th which was a Wednesday. It was due on the Tuesday however I called fed ex and it got held up as it came from Poland. Very good quality cot and my little one transitioned nicely from his next to me. I would really recommend. It didn’t take my fiancé long to assemble it at all.

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone, especially regarding delivery times - that's really put my mind at ease! @otterbaby I love the colour you chose - it looks amazing! Did you go for a Mokee mattress as well or have you got that from somewhere else?

@MilsCookie yes, we just got the standard one (Aloe Vera I think?) but it also seems really good quality! And we bought the two pack of cotton sheets - I will say if you can find the sheets elsewhere do that, as they aren't as soft as I would have expected.

Ours took less than a week to arrive It's a great cot for the price, it's got plenty of room and yet it's compact in her nursery compared to lots of other bulky cots we looked at. I put it up myself at 39 weeks and massive, it was dead easy.

Thank you both @IrnBruAndTwiglets and @otterbaby. I'll look at the aloe vera mattress! Good to know it's not too difficult to assemble too 😊

I just wanted to update this thread in case anyone reads it in the future - I ordered the Mokee cots (x2) on Sunday and they arrived on the Thursday! So only took 4 days to be delivered. Haven't opened them/built them yet but I was very impressed with the speedy delivery 😊
