My brother and SIL are offering me their crib (a Pali) from about 2001. I haven't looked at it yet, but am sure they kept it in good shape, with the exception of normal wear and tear (they've had 2 kids use it). I would get a new mattress for it.
Would you use it?

In your situation, yes.
As pp said, just check for recalls!
And,be careful to not lose any pieces in the move.
FYI - if you do lose any parts, you can call the company, give them the model # & they will send you the parts that are missing.
With DD's crib, my sister couldn't find the hardware at first. I called the company and they sent me the hardware, free of charge. Of course after the hardware arrived, my sister found hers!
ditto. we are inheriting a crib that was used for our niece & nephew. MIL has already looked up the recall status and ordered the replacement parts (which seem like really minor fixes).
We're also getting one from our friends. Good to know you can call for replacement parts!
