Quality doesn’t match price, bribe for review
I ordered the natural timber playpen which worked fine for about 8 months, during which we did not collapse or move it at all. The latch is awkward to use and it just didn’t seem worth the $300 price tag but we were fine with it. Then we tried to reshape it and one of the plastic hinges broke, and one section totally fell apart with the wooden rods falling out- they seemed loosely glued in. I contacted customer service to replace the hinge and after proving the break with a video (this is reasonable) - and they offered to replace the piece for free. The catch was that they’d only wave the shipping fee if I left a positive review on this site. Sorry but bribing for positive reviews doesn’t sit right with me. So here is my honest review and I’ll pay for the shipping so my son’s playpen remains functional. You literally have to check a box saying you haven’t received an incentive to leave a review on Trustpilot!

First off, we’re really sorry to hear that our product didn’t meet your expectations. We totally understand your frustration, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention in such a colorful way! After checking in with our customer service team, it looks like there was a bit of miscommunication when you asked about the warranty. They were more focused on resolving the usage issues rather than clarifying the warranty details. Unfortunately, it seems that by the time you reached out, the playpen had surpassed its warranty period. Our intention was to send you the replacement parts at no extra cost, but we also wanted to encourage positive feedback as a gesture of goodwill for other customers. We definitely don’t want you to feel like you’re being "bribed" for a review—that's just not our style! But if you do feel that your service experience improved, we’d love for you to share that with others. If this hasn’t resolved your issue, please don’t hesitate to reach out again! We’re committed to making this right for you. And if you could kindly update your review and send us a screenshot before we proceed with the resolution plan, we’d be incredibly grateful! Thanks for your understanding, and we hope to turn that frown upside down!
