Crib recalls happen on the reg in the US. It's understandable, but there is so much waste with each recall! It's a little sad. My older daughter's crib was part of one of the many recalls, and it had been sitting in our backroom to trash for quite a few months (what can I say, I'm a procrastinator!).
As we were preparing for baby number two, I was looking into buying a drying rack to dry cloth diapers on. New baby expenses were rising higher and higher at the time for us, so I decided against buying one. Instead, I searched my house for something that could double as a drying rack. I found the recalled crib which was stashed away in a closet with plans to throw it away... Perfect!

The side rails of the crib have been great for drying diapers! I lean the rails long ways against a wall outside or in. Most of the time I only need one rail, but there are times I need two. I'm so glad I kept both! I put my rails behind my couch when I'm not using them, but you could also slide them underneath a bed.
I feel like I should confirm that I threw away the rest of the crib. I'm not a pack rat!
