building a crib

Square Hippie

DW doesn't want my brother's awesome crib because it is a few (3-4) years old and could potentially not have the safety features or price tag of a 2012 Volkswagen Passat. I think it would be fine but then jokingly brought up the idea I could just build one, but it got me thinking. We are still in 1st trimester, time is still bountiful, are cribs really that ridiculously complicated?
