Franklin Cotbed & Essential Airflow Pocket Spring Mattress Bundle

The BubsNest Verdict

The Mamas & Papas Franklin dresser and changing unit receives solid praise from UK parents, who highlight its sturdy construction and ability to withstand years of use. However, a few note challenges with the size, weight or assembly process. Overall, it seems a reliable choice for a nursery, though taller parents may find the changing surface height less than ideal. Those looking for a durable, long-lasting piece of furniture tend to be happiest with this set.

Solid Choice

The Mamas & Papas Franklin dresser and changing unit receives solid praise from UK parents, who highlight its sturdy construction and ability to withstand years of use. However, a few note challenges with the size, weight or assembly process. Overall, it seems a reliable choice for a nursery, though taller parents may find the changing surface height less than ideal. Those looking for a durable, long-lasting piece of furniture tend to be happiest with this set.

What parents love

Durable constructionParents report the Franklin set holds up well over time, with one user still using the cot 7 years later.
Versatile designThe dresser can be used beyond the baby stage, converting to a regular chest of drawers.
Attractive appearanceThe natural oak finish is praised for creating a stylish, neutral look in the nursery.

Worth knowing

Size and weightSome users found the dresser and changing unit to be quite large and heavy, making it difficult to move or fit in smaller spaces.
Changing surface heightTaller parents noted the changing surface was a bit low, leading to back strain during use.
Assembly challengesA few users reported the furniture was tricky to assemble, with unclear instructions.

Best for

  • Families looking for a durable, long-lasting nursery set
  • Those with ample nursery space to accommodate the large size

May not suit

  • Smaller homes or flats with limited room
  • Taller parents who may find the changing surface height uncomfortable

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Measure your nursery space carefully to ensure the large dresser and changing unit will fit comfortably.

Getting the Most Out of It

Consider using the dresser beyond the baby stage, as its classic design can transition well to a regular bedroom.

Safety Note

Ensure the furniture is securely anchored to the wall to prevent tip-overs, especially as your child grows.
