Looking for a moses basket / bassinette

[beckveldman]

Correction

Clearly I was sleep deprived when writing of the source of my custom-made baby bassinette!

It was Yue Kee Rattan, 77 Queens Road East, 2528 1560

They were brilliant. Took three weeks.

Clarified as I have had some PM enquiries about where to get one made and details, etc.

Maybe not the answer for the OP wanting a very cheap temporary option, but I was pleased to have found an alternative to the tiny and flimsy moses baskets sold in baby shops here!

After months of running into brick walls with baby suppliers and searching here, I finally thought laterally and had a lovely wicker (=rattan!!) basinette made to order at Jade Rattan on Queens Rd East, Wanchai!! Cost $700, which I thought was super for the quality and functionality i.e. it's a good size, our daughter is three months old and still very happy in it. Pic below. It's a rigid antique wicker style, but I also had them make an unbleached cotton liner and "hood" so you can't actually see the rattan in the pic! They were very familiar with the style of thing I wanted and it took about 5 minutes to get across my specifications, 3 weeks to make, excellent job!

Hope that helps.

Hi Beckveldmen, I know this is last year's posting...but I was wondering if u remember if your bassinette made at Jade Rattan is inclusive of all mattress and lining for $700? Thanks!

Hi -

It included the lining, but not the mattress.

Hope that helps.
