I'm about to embark on making a crib similar to this:
It doesn't necessarily need to be convertible like the original, although that would be an added bonus. SWMBO has also requested a drawer in the bottom like this one has:
Another alternative that would of course prevent the crib from being convertible is to simply attach the top stile and have the slats fit into the outter carcass. This would create its own set of challenges.
Regardless of which approach I decide on, I think it would be easier to make the mattress/frame be able to be adjusted up and down instead of the slat frames.
Thoughts/suggestions?
thanks,
Eric
