The “Timi” floor bed from CADANI impresses with its minimalist design, its versatile functionality and its orientation towards Montessori principles. With a generous lying surface of 120 x 200 cm, it not only offers comfort, but also supports children’s independence and motor development. We were particularly impressed by the sturdy construction and the individually adjustable safety rail, which ensures safety. The high-quality workmanship and the long service life thanks to the well thought-out concept should also be emphasised. One small point of criticism, however, is that visual blemishes can become visible on the surface if it is knocked. Overall, the “Timi” floor bed fulfils expectations in terms of quality and functionality and is an enrichment for every child’s room.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.2 stars. In some cases, the risk of breakage of individual wooden parts and quiet noises such as squeaking or creaking from joints are criticised. On the other hand, the stability, modern design and simple assembly are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant design and functionality of the “Timi” floor bed from CADANI were well received by customers. The criticism of the risk of wooden parts breaking was not justified during the test period, as no such problems occurred.
