Good Quality

It looks brilliant in our nursery and the wood is really good quality - not flimsy like many self assembly products are.

Very disappointing

Date:May 8, 2013
We received this furniture after a long seven week wait and started to unpack it with great excitment, however this excitment very soon turned to extreme annoyance. There were lots of black specs on the white paint, random cuts on the cot sides, sawdust painted over and scrapes on the furniture. Some of the holes for the screws were not drilled at all and all the dowls were a loose fit. We didn't go so as far as to open up the wardrobe box after the dissappointment with the cot bed and dresser. On a positive note Mamas and Papas customer service department were very apologetic and dealt with collecting the furniture immediately and a full refund was issued within a matter of days. For the price of this furniture we expected so much more from this company. The collection is obviously run of a production line but quality control really needs to be stepped up here. Our furniture search continues.....

Beautiful, Quality and Sturdy

Date:April 12, 2013
Read the first review and feel I have to comment. We have recently had this furntiure delivered and had 3 very small issues with pieces in the furniture which Mamas and Papas happily offered to send replacements for. We were happy for them to be delivered as had spent too long putting the furniture together and it was the only nursery set I liked.
The furniture is top quality and beautifully designed with nice detailing. The safety runners are fantastic and add to the quality feel. We feel the wardrobe is designed very well to maximise space useage with two hanging rails (so we can organise clothes in age ranges), an adjustable shelf and deep drawer which is very handy indeed (for all the baby items which need storing away).
We have had a little girl and the white furniture set goes well with pink walls and a pink bedding set.
I can not over emphasis the quality and sturdiness of the furniture and it is for these reasons we chose the set. Excellent purchase and well worth the money (we got it in the sale).

Quality Wardrobe will last well

Date:July 1, 2012
Pros: Perfectly co-ordinates in your home
Wardrobe is of good quality and once built would not think it was flat pack!
Looks fantastic in the nursery and think if you remove the bottom hanging rail would last into childhood well.
We have no other storage (other than under cot drawer with the Hayworth cotbed) and I have got all my wipes, nappies, creams and potions and clothes in here! Even have sheets and blankets for the crib and cotbed! We have a selection of clothing from newborn to 12 months and it stores it all well.
No issues building but we are somewhat used to flat pack. It is heavy and the average person would need an extra pair of hands .
It was a bit pricey to be honest but impressed with quality and design.

Think twice before buying

Date:March 12, 2012
Cons: Price point of some items, poor workmanship
We bought the complete set of summerhouse furniture for our baby before Christmas. It is now March and we are still waiting for our furniture to be complete and fitted properly without gouges, holes, scrapes and to have drawers that fit properly.
The instructions do not inform of little adjustments that can be made to allow the drawers to close properly. The wardrobe is still not finished either, the fitters have had to come 3 times because of poor workmanship.
The overall look is lovely but the quality of the pieces is very poor. If we were aware of this first, we would NEVER have chosen this set and would think twice from ordering from mammas and papas.

Bought this as the part of the Summerhouse set. As far as flat packs go, this is of a much higher quality than any other I have had the mis-fortune to assemble in the past. The drawer bases and the rear panels of the units are a lot thicker than the usual flimsy pieces of hardboard included with flatpacks. The unit is sturdy and looks beautiful in the nursery. Doors and drawer were easy to adjust for fit. This unit is heavy and needs 2 people to lift the wardrobe on to the drawer base for fitting. Also the tag at the top rear of the wardrobe must be secured to wall.

Avoid buying!!!

Date:February 2, 2012
I thought at the beggining that it would be great Dresser to buy but I regret the moment I bought it. I am every 2-3 weeks with an electric screwdriver trying to put the drawers back. I have to use new holes every time to screw the safety runners back.... and there are only baby clothes inside... unless they are made for 10-15 pairs of socks... that's only what it can hold...

Very happy with purchase

Date:December 5, 2011
Pros: quality appearance, detailed finish
Cons: lots of packaging
We bought this as part of the Summerhouse set and are very pleased with the overall quality and look of the furniture. All items were well packaged and are of very good quality - my partner found these pieces easy to put together. These look lovely in our nursery - they have a quality appearance with a detailed finish and are large so have excellent storage. We are very happy with the items.

Great Furniture!!

Date:November 1, 2011
Pros: Perfectly co-ordinates in your home, Allows me to create a complete look
We have had our daughter in the Summerhouse furniture for the past 17 months and it still looks as new. It really makes the nursery and our daughter has loved sleeping and playing in her cot. We had the furniture fitted from the company we purchased it from (not Mamas and Papas) and they didn't use long enough screws on the furniture which caused difficulties opening them after a short while - which was solved by changing the screws - this was our only gripe!
I would really recommend this furniture and am thinking of getting a second set for our new baby.

Poor quality, not worth the money

Date:September 26, 2011
Pros: Allows me to create a complete look
Cons: product quality, damaged parts, missing part
So disappointed with this. My husband is a carpenter and he was appalled at the quality of this unit, he basically had to glue it together to make it sturdy. The drawers are thin and flimsy, the top of the unit had big chisel marks out of the wood, we are currently waiting for them to send another out, we ordered the wardrobe too and we were missing box 2 of 3, they had sent 2 box 3's, make sure you arrange any deliveries well in advance of your due dates ladies incase like me you have to wait for them to re-deliver damaged/missing parts!

Lovely furniture

Date:July 22, 2011
Pros: Perfectly co-ordinates in your home, Allows me to create a complete look
We saw this set in store, and I have to say the customer service was excellent. Very friendly staff.
My husband and I love this furniture range, it looks and feels very solid. For flat-pack it's very good quality.
Assembling everything took a while, although in general the instructions were fairly clear. However, drawers/doors a challenge to put in/on!!! Diagrams for the wardrobe doors left us guessing a little, and it's a 2-person job.
Our only snag is the varnish is not uniform in some places, although luckily this is not in visible locations (e.g. inside of a drawer).
Overall, we're very happy with it and the price.

Beautiful Quality

We had a few hitches assembling this furniture, but the after care sales team were brilliant and eventually sent someone to assemble it for us.
The furniture is beautiful, very roomy and solid, it will last for a very long time. I am extremely happy with this collection.

Lovely furniture

Date:March 27, 2011
This furniture set is lovely - gorgeous colour and looks fab in our nursery. In my opinion is also excellent value for money at this price.
It took much longer than anticipated to assemble and definately needs 2 people for the wardrobe.
The only thing I would say is that there are a couple of small dints and marks on our cot which we didn't notice until it was assembled. Other that than though I would highly recommend this product.

Great buy

Date:January 10, 2011
Bought this last year before birth of first child. Cot is large and baby spent first few months in Moses basket. Just about to change from basket to cot now he is 4 months old. Keeping fingers crossed. The furniture range is fantastic - took hubby a little while to build but everything went together great with no parts missing or damaged. Looks lovely, great size and should last our son a good few years.

Fantastic quality at an attractive price

Date:November 29, 2010
Having found mamas and papas prior to the birth of our daughter Zoe, we pretty much bought the whole of the shop to kit her out for the first 2 years of her life. The Summerhouse demerara range was a fantastic investment and the clothing ranges we have bought filled the wardrobe!
