Popcorn's New Furniture

In the same shopping trip as the puss puss purchase (different shop), we got new furniture for popcorn also. Being the cheapo parent-to-be that I am, I had been monitoring the stores' web sites for sales and when it came, we made a trip to baguette land and sapu-ed what we came for.

Furniture requirements,

• Does not need to last for more than 10 years. No need to invest in solid wood furniture. That is, don't need super high class quality but cannot be too cheapo also.
• Neutral colours.
• Not more than MYR2,800.00 for all furniture, i.e. a bed with mattress, a chest and a wardrobe.
• Bed must have adjustable mattress height and fixed sides.
• Furniture, especially the bed, must be robust and sturdy.
• Nothing too cartoon-ny, cute-sy and fancy. I.e. no themes like The Cars, Hello Kitty, etc.

So what new furniture did we end up purchasing?

• A baby bed with fixed sides and 3 adjustable mattress positions. Transformable into a toddler's bed. L143 x H90 x D78 cm.
• A sliding drawer that slides underneath the bed for more storage space.
• A foam mattress for the bed. The store did not have spring mattresses, so we will go with the foam one for now.
• A chest with 2 doors and a changing table on top. Changing table can be used for babies from 0 to 12 months old. L95 x H92 x D47 cm.
• A wardrobe with 2 doors. Multiple shelves inside with space for hanging clothes. L101 x H189 x P58 cm.

Material: Particle board with decorative birch panels.
Colours: White and Natural.
Delivery time: 4 to 10 weeks
Total price paid: MYR2,200.00

All in all, our requirements are covered with this purchase and some more, and so we are pretty happy and satisfied. Another tick on my todo list!! Yay!!!

And finally, a big thank you to dai sou who advised us to get things done in the 2nd trimester. Otherwise I would have been my typical oblivious self and gone furniture shopping in the final month, and have my undies in knots again wondering if things will arrive on time.
