As tempting as it is to hang on for future grandchildren, i need to make some space and accept that they will want something more fancy and modern!

It's been used by both my children and loved. The mattress has some marks but would come out easily. I've also got lots of sheets to include with it.

It would suit anyone wanting to save some money, I'd be looking for a small koha for whatever anyone can afford.

Message me if you're keen.
