Cot material composition and disclosure
Radiata pine described; complete base, adhesive and coating composition not located.
Score: 5 / 10
Full material/component disclosure.
Cots
The drop side may make lifting a baby easier for parents who struggle to reach over fixed rails. Older owners describe a sturdy cot, but also problems with sliders and finish wear. Smooth locking and the condition of the mechanism matter, especially second-hand.
Current Siena recommends 131 × 75 × 11 cm. Its linked Dropside Cots manual gives a maximum thickness of 12 cm. Confirm the label on your cot, especially older models.
Dimensions shortlist options; actual fit, firmness, condition and manufacturer approval still need checking.

Owners often describe a sturdy frame, but experiences with drop-side tracks, instructions and scratch resistance are mixed. The mechanism and finish are the main reported weaknesses, making it less straightforward than a simple fixed-side design.
Confidence: Medium. Recorded owner reports are years old, so their relevance to a new Siena is less certain.
