But I also don't like the usual design of wood poles for the sides/rails - I felt this open design is not 'cosy' enough. Initially I wanted to go with solid wood for the whole thing. Price was not an advantage: While the materials sum up to about 200 Euros (~230 USD, depending on the sort of wood you use obviously), for which you easily buy a baby bed, the time spent on this project easily exceeded 50h. selecting the materials yourself means you can make sure nothing potentially harmful is used. you can build a style that integrates into your bedroom or kidsroom, 2. Reasons why I think this is a good idea: 1.

When learning that I will be a dad, one of my first thoughts was that I wanted to make the little guy his very first bed.
