You can buy kits to convert your crib to a bed, but none of them are very sturdy. Do it yourself, save money, and end up with a much stronger bed that your kids can jump on,
Great video! I love the teamwork. Would you by chance know what kind of screws and bolts we need for the crib? I have reached out to rooms to go for directions because we took ours apart when we were moving and we are trying to put the crib back together, but we lost all of the screws and bolts.
Hello! This is the exact same crib our daughter has that we are about to convert. May I ask what paint color you used to match? Or did you take in a piece of the crib? Thank you!
I am sorry. I don’t remember. A full size bed is 54 inches wide and so I would guess the slats are roughly 56 inches wide. I just cut them to fit at the time
@@HowToLou my wife doesn't trust me to build this but I built a patterned wall 😂. I want to save on this crib to its $2,235 at current price with dresser and changing table
With enough care and patience, you can build just about anything, BUT…. there is a big difference between a wall and a crib or dresser. The fit and finish has to be flawless, or you will see it. You will never survive your wife’s wrath if her baby gets a splinter, eats paint, and gets its arm or head stuck in your crib. Run for the hills if it collapses. Facebook Marketplace is your best friend in this case. Get a good used one. Save your marriage, not your money, when dealing with a woman’s child! Build a picnic table, kitchen table, or desk. Stay clear of big projects in the nursery. I have built 100s of things, but even I won’t go there!!
I have the exact same crib and want to take on this project your video inspired me after I read reviews about the conversion kits....what kind of nail gun/ nails do you recommend?
