Unpainted Miniature Cot

A bare wood cot for a dollhouse nursery, bare wood and ready to paint or stain to match the room it is going into. It is a scene piece rather than part of a set, so it stands on its own as the sleeping end of a child's room, and because nothing has been finished for you it can be taken towards the colour of whatever else is already in the room. A nursery usually starts with the cot, and an unfinished one means the rest of the room does not have to follow somebody else's choice.

The scale is the 1:12 dollhouse scale used across this range, and a nursery built to it sits together as one room, so the cot looks right in a single room box and in one corner of a larger house. A cot gives the room its sleeping end, and the rest of the furniture can be arranged around it.

One price covers the cot: $26.99, with a compare-at figure of $34.99, and $26.99 is the entry price shown on the page. The single choice on the page is the finish, and it is listed as Unpainted blank. A 2 for $45.99 badge sits alongside if two cots are needed for a pair of rooms.

A single photograph comes with this piece, and it is filed under the Unpainted blank option rather than as a main product photo. With no second angle and no detail shot, that one image is what you judge the proportions from, so it is worth opening it at full size before you decide.

Unfinished pieces are the ones that let you match a scheme exactly rather than working around a colour somebody else chose, which is useful in a child's room where the cot is often the piece the rest of the room is arranged around. Mini Furniture gathers the other nursery and child's room pieces, so a room can be filled out around it when you are ready.

Dust bare wood with a soft dry brush rather than a damp cloth, and handle it by the frame instead of by a thin rail. If you finish it, work on a covered surface and let it dry fully before anything is placed in it, so the finish has time to settle.
