apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

As great-uncle-to-be, I'm a little scared of a cradle suspended like that, because "down [could] come bayy-by, cradle and all!"

I second Curtis. Unless blocking or an escutcheon has been installed above the ceiling specifically to support this -- there is no way I would trust it.

100 lb. chandeliers hang from ceiling joists, why not 15 lb. babies?

I'd hardly call that a small space cradle! Lots of visual space taken up there.

Nice, but highly impractical, as a baby outgrows a cradle very quickly. Better to opt for a crib.......
