So just to idiot check myself:
We have this crib, and the conversion kits here and here are $350. I already have some of the same stain from when I made a bookcase and table to match the crib, so I don't see why I shouldn't just make the kits. I've got other things on my schedule competing for time, but this looks pretty straightforward.
I have all of the bolts, as they came with the crib, so I'll just need some threaded inserts judging from the assembly instructions.
How large do side rails usually need to be on a children's bed? If I make it like the same piece on the crib side it'd be 4/4 thick and 3 1/2 deep, but I'm thinking a real bed will want deeper rails. Perhaps I'll go measure the ones on my bed... Length for a double bed mattress is 75", do you make the rails exact or is there a fudge factor in making beds?
This looks like it'll be cake, but that also makes me feel like I'm overlooking something...
