Many are made for a single use to transport various items. True there can be nails & splinters to deal with, but extra care in sanding and nail removal will make them safe for a toddler. They are a low cost option and make fabulous furniture and decorative items for the home. Many are made from poplar and oak wood as well as pine and other wood types. Finished properly the wood is very safe. Yes take care in choosing your pallets and in the building of your projects. There is plenty information on the net about pallets. Read and know what the numbers mean that are stamped on them. All pallets are not created equal, but they can provide a cost efficient way to inexpensive furniture and decorating needs as well as the primitive style many of us prefer when chosen and handled correctly. So to each is allowed their own opinion and I believe the toddler bed to be an economical choice when common sense and proper handling is followed by the builder.

The pallets in the photos have been around the block, and are almost guaranteed to be chemically treated so they don’t harbor invasive organisms as they travel from state to state, country to country, or continent to continent.

Not saying that they will harm her children, but it’s not something I would do (she doesn’t even mention any of the dangers on her website, but tells you to sand them without letting you know that the dust you’re making could get into your lungs). To me, these don’t look chic or trendy, they just look gross. I find the original plan site to be terribly irresponsible with regards to safety and potential hazards.

Have you ever actually handled a palette?
