“Man in the Moon’ Baby Cot/Crib/Bed, made for a dreamer or future astronaut, pilot, or just a star gazer. makes me wish i was small again! Solidly built from old wineboxes and heartwood, using timber dowel to eliminate the look of ugly screws and nails. The moon can sit solidly on the floor with no rocking movement, or the moon can sit on a stand which gently rocks the whole moon from side to side (not front to back as you’d imagine the moon to do!), looks beautiful when in action you just want to crawl into it yourself and catch a few Zzzzzs!

Why Linda, is the baby going to start suckling on a splinter?
…but on the price… Yikes !
Wow Linda, you obviously didn’t get any at the weekend with a Monday morning attitude like that.
€690. Wow
Maybe it was the wine that started the HOLE thing !
Sober people do sexy time to ya know ! :)
Really? Christ, I can’t imagine how that would work.
It’s like learning all over again :)
Well we all know it should come from a freshly axed tree – none of that recycled rubbish, And it should not cost €690 as it should be cheaply made in China or Bangladesh, you know, for the super cheap labour. And what’s with all that splinter-free doweling? It takes ages to build things when you use them. No, nails and screws all the way – I love the way they make splinters! Then I can place my baby in something that can then cost €50…. or dangerously less! Fcuk local handcrafts!
I think the point is that it really doesn’t look like it would meet the safety requirements necessary for a CE mark without which it cannot legally be sold in Europe
Unless you deem it a toy, then CE is not applicable….
Yes it does…. http://oddsandsoxlets.co.uk/handmade-toys-ce-marking/
Better link – http://www.conformance.co.uk/adirectives/doku.php?id=toys applies to all of EEA not just UK as implied in the other link
Read what I said. If you deem it to be a toy, then yes. If it is not deemed a toy then it is not. It is a crib – a novelty one. Is it a toy? I doubt it.
Speed reading inaccurately there, the safety standard that applies to cribs is European Standard EN 716-1:2008, either way, that crib does not look safe for a baby to sleep in, and that, not the fact that it was hand crafted or the price, would be my concern.
“Little man or girl”?
Nothing wrong with old wineboxes. If there are other criticisms to be made, fair enough.
