The Product and Manufacturing Process:
Nurseryworks products are made from sustainable
woods wherever possible and also from high-
quality wood veneers. The primary material
used in our products is Paulownia wood
which is harvested from plantations and
renewed every 10-12 years. Zero-grade MDF,
containing well below the regulated limit of
formaldehyde, is used sparingly in components
of our products to achieve our signature
carvings and single board slat cutouts. All
paints, finishes and glues are low-VOC. Our
products are tested on a frequent basis to
ensure that all coatings and finishes comply
with AU standard heavy metals requirements.
Each Nurseryworks product is a unique piece
crafted largely by hand. We use a specialized
machinery process to create our hallmark
carvings and each piece is constructed and
lacquered by hand. Our lacquering process
involves over a dozen steps to sand and
polish the furniture to achieve our glossy
finish. With proper care and assembly, your
Nurseryworks products will be a part of your
family for years to come. Please note that
due to the handcrafted nature of our products
and our use of solid woods, each piece is
unique and may contain irregular qualities,
such as natural markings, miniscule burrs, or
slight discolorations. These natural characteristics
are inherent in wood, are not considered
manufacturing defects and do not merit
replacements.

Maintenance and Cleaning:
To preserve the hand crafted quality of
Nurseryworks furniture, we recommend using
acotton cloth and a non-toxic cleaner. Periodic
polishing or oiling on furniture pieces that
have a stain finish will help to maintain the
rich wood tones. Each Nurseryworks item is a
unique piece, made of White Pine, Paulownia
Wood and with rich and high quality wood
veneers. Because these pieces are made of
real wood and real wood veneers, there will
occasionally be natural markings, miniscule
burrs, or slight discolorations. These natural
characteristics are inherent in wood and are
not considered defects by Nurseryworks.
Because of this the merchandise will be considered
normal and of good quality and will not be
replaced because of these natural characteristics.

Important Note:
Improper assembly can result in damage to
your furniture or cause harm to your child.
Proper assembly is critical to ensure a safe
and comfortable end result. Please read all
instructions before assembly and keep
instructions for future use.

WARNING:
Do not use this cot if the enclosed or attached
instructions cannot be strictly adhered to. Do
not use this cot if the child is able to climb out
unaided or is taller than 90 cm. Do not place
cords, straps, or similar items that could
become wound around the child’s neck in or
near this cot. The mattress used with this cot
should be no more than 15 cm (6 in) thick and
should be of such length and width that the
gap between the mattress and the sides of the
cot is no more than 3 cm (1.2 in) when the
mattress is pushed into the corner of the cot.
Parents should ensure a safe environment for
the child by checking regularly, before placing
the child in the product, that every component
is properly and securely in place.
• Infants can suffocate on soft bedding. Never add a
pillow or comforter.
Never place additional padding under an infant.
• To reduce the risk of SIDS, pediatricians recommend
healthy infants be
placed on their backs to sleep, unless otherwise advised
by your physician.
• Strings can cause strangulation! Do not place items
with a string around a child’s neck, such as hood strings
or pacifier cords. Do not suspend strings over a cot or
attach strings to toys.
• To help prevent strangulation tighten all fasteners. A
child can trap parts of the body or clothing on loose
fasteners.
• Place cot at a reasonable distance from curtains,
blinds, heater and power points.
• When a child is able to pull to a standing position, set
the mattress to the lowest position and remove bumper
pads, large toys and other objects that could serve as
steps for climbing out.
• When a child is able to climb out, reaches the height of
35 inches (90cm),

Please do NOT remove any wood screws
in the normal disassembly of the cot.
WARNING:
5
the child should be placed in a youth or regular bed,
and the cot shall no longer be used.
• Check this product for damaged hardware, loose
joints, missing parts or sharp edges before and after
assembly and frequently during use. DO NOT
use cot if any parts are missing, damaged or broken.
Contact Modern Nursery Australia for replacement
parts and instructional literature, if needed. DO NOT
substitute parts.
• DO NOT use a water mattress with this cot.
• Keep medication, string, elastic, small toys or small
items, such as money, out of reach from any position in
the cot.
• To prevent falls, the maximum thickness should not
exceed 150mm.
• To prevent falls, the mattress base of this cot should
be adjusted to the lowest position before the child can
sit up.
• For cots equipped with teething rails, replace teething
rail if damaged, cracked or loose.
• If refinishing, use a non-toxic finish specified for
children’s products.
• Never use plastic shipping bags or other plastic films
as mattress covers because they can cause suffocation.
• Infants can suffocate in gaps between cot sides
when used with a mattress that is too small.
• Check fasteners periodically for tightness. DO NOT
overtighten. This may cause distortion or breakage.
• Use a cot as a cot, not as a play pen. Remember
that a cot is not a substitute for a parent’s supervision.
• When re-assembling the cot for your second child,
please keep in mind that the screw holes will need to
be filled in order for the screws to grip the wood, t
alk to your local hardware store or lumber yard about
how to do this properly.
• Follow warnings on all products in a cot.

RECOMMENDED MATTRESS SIZE:
This cot has been manufactured
for use with a mattress which
measures 690 mm wide by
1310 mm long and 150 mm(or
less) in thickness. The width and
length are specified because it
is important that the gaps
between the mattress and the
sides and ends of the cot will
not exceed 40 mm. This is to
minimize the risk of a child’s
limb becoming caught in the
gap. The thickness of the mattress
has been specified to ensure
that the depth of the cot is
greater than 500 mm with the
mattress base in the lower
position to minimize the risk of a
child climbing or falling out of
the cot.
