All of the readers who have kids must have lots of money or dont care for the people who dont have much and as new parents sometimes you do something that just doesint seem to come out right. Im sure all of you have made big mistakes with ur lil ones that were your first babies. The crib is addorable and none of you should critizie, just dont make the crib, easy huh, dont make it!! and for the ones who thinks its a cute idea, well ajust it to make it safer. And please all the oh so no it all parents, ther are lots of parents that have to put there babies in a drawer or some type of made up bed. I do belive many of these children did survive. No matter careful you are, something is going to happen that you should have seen, watched or been there. remember that.

wow. if you are going to gang up on a woman for making a beautiful and I am sure safe crib, then buy her one if you are so inclined and if it will shut you up. I think it is great and if you think it is so irresponsible, then do not use the design.
kudos on the creativity.

The crib is amazing! If your sooo concerned about the baby’s safty, fix it up yourself when YOU make it! By the way, this projects is ment for you to Do It YOURSELF!!! Now start having a cow about your own kids safety! It’s not like your being forced into putting your baby into it just by looking at the picture. Come ON! Give me a break! No one is trying to get you to do anything! Besides, the directions are going to be up to code!

Now there, it’s been said! Deal with it!!!

I love the George Nelson inspired jewelry chest! I’m going to make one asap. I wanted to add that I used a smaller IKEA mini drawer chest w/6 drawers for keeping small items on my kitchen counter and I turned the drawers around so the finger pull slot was in the back of the box and I put knobs on the front of the box. It worked great and I get one could do that with this set of drawers as well. That way you could put knobs on it similar to G. Nelson’s! Very cool! Thanks for the creativity!

Wonderful crib idea! I love the small size. I never used a crib for 3 of my kids because they were all so large and my room so small.

this has been a big success, no?!i´ve just tuned back in to find the comments area turned into marketplace turned bazaar! the great thing about design is that people are so passionate about it. i think this is a wonderful discussion going on about all the different topics that are important. safety versus aesthetics, which rules make sense and what does the culture of lawsuits in america do to design, original ideas or copy, cheap or smart… all these are the things that fulltime designers think about every day. so i think this discussion round has created a lot of new awareness for the work of designers, – and maybe poeple will be less inclinde to knock of designs for cheap, and also it has touched a few topics about design in america that could be discussed further.
