Spending over R2 000 for a brand-new raw wooden cot is ridiculous! I'm on the hunt for a second-hand one under R1 000. So far, there's a listing on gumtree - though I'm not too sure about private sales. Always makes me nervous. A friend of mine suggested a place called The Firs, next to Sevens in Fourways and Hein and I drove around looking for the shop with no luck...So I'm going to try the secondhand furniture stores in Randburg and perhaps Ontdekkers this weekend... maybe something will come up - because even Mistry's and Lotters Pine is over R2 000. Baby stuff is just as expensive as wedding stuff - these people take advantage because they know mommy wants best for baby. Nxa!

hahaha, shame man. I've once asked a man off the street to make me a table. one of those people that sell those drawers you find absolutely anywhere, why not try that approach. You could probably get him to make you a cot for less than R500. Just a thought....ofcourse you run the risk of him making something you don't like...
ReplyDeleteAnd did he make it? Actually, I found someone on Gumtree, beleive it or not, who has an 11-month-old white wooden cot to sell for R750. We're going to go check it out on Saturday...
