My wife is pregnant with our first child so I needed a crib. She pick one out at a store and of coarse it was $1200. So I took a picture of it and built this one my self. I bought about $200 of random width and length poplar 3/4 in thick material. This is by far the best and most complicated project I have ever done, I found this web site when I was looking for some info on cribs.

For the most complicated project you’ve done, I’d say you nailed it.

Congratulations and great job, Shane. My wife is also pregnant with our first. I’m working on a dresser. I may have to add the crib to my project list.

Don’t forget the changing table : )
Also, I hope you made the mattress support adjustable. You won’t want it that low for quite sometime.
Congratulations, it’s a great piece.

Won’t the baby fall out of that crib with the legs going to the celing??
Looks like a fine build with lots of problems to solve. I’ll you are a better craftsman after building this beautiful crib.

Congrats on the baby! My wife and I are expecting our first baby too. Funny thing is that I also was looking a very similar crib at the store, did you follow any plans ? or just the picture?

That’s really nice! Are you going to paint it or leave it? I like the natural look. Oh, I hope your shop is in a detacted garage, otherwise you power tool days may be numbered, with your little one on the way. Congradulations and I hope everything goes well with your family.

I hear you. My wife likes expensive furniture too. Much more rewarding to build it yourself, and cheaper too. Nice job.
