Twin/Full-Size Bed Conversion Kit

Perfect fit and color match for DaVinci convertible crib. You will need to buy bed slats to hold up the mattress but this is perfect great quality, easy to assemble, built to last.

So happy with these rails! We have a Bonavita Peyton Lifestyle Crib in Espresso (which converts to a full size bed), and although we had ordered the rails with the crib, the store accidentally sold our set due to a mix-up. The furniture company had gone out of business, so we were unable to order another set, and I couldn't find them anywhere online for a reasonable price. I took a chance and ordered these, and they work with the caveats noted below. 1) The holes on the rails lined up perfectly with the holes on the headboard and footboard, but the holes on the headboard and footboard didn't go all the way through (the holes were only on one side). Therefore, I did have to drill through the headboard and footboard holes to be able to screw into the rails. Not a big deal at all. The hardware that came with the rails fit perfectly, and the dark screws blend well into the wood. 2) When the rails are in place, they're a tad too wide to hold the full size box spring. You could buy extra wood to use as slats, but you would probably be able to see them sticking out a little under the mattress. Using slats, you also wouldn't need a box spring as it would cause the mattress to be way too high. We found a work-around that was a perfect solution for us. We were concerned with the stability and maximum weight of slats, so we wanted to use a metal bed frame underneath for support. Because the rails are a little too wide, we were able to fit the metal frame holding the box spring underneath and within the wooden frame of the rails! This also allows the box spring to sit lower, so the top of it is even with the height of the rails. The mattress then sits right on top of the boxspring at the perfect height with the rails. It's a win-win: we have the support and stability of the metal bed frame, but we have the beautiful look of the bed rails and a secure headboard and footboard. Could not be happier with this purchase! Edited to add - the price of these rails was 1/3rd the price we paid at the store for the rails that were made for the crib. Not sure if those came with slats or not, but even if they did, I'm much happier with this item. We wouldn't have used the slats anyway, so I think this is a great value!

This worked great for our Baby Bod Cadence 4 in 1 crib. For the price I wish it came with support slats; however, it was easy to assemble, sturdy and almost a perfect color match. (and still cheaper than purchasing a full-size bed) We purchased 4 boards from Home Depot, cut them down and laid them down horizontally and then purchased the Zinus Annemarie Solid Wood Bed Support Slats and laid them down vertically. (we didn't want to use a box spring) Sleep Signature full mattress fit perfect. My daughter is thrilled.

We decided to convert the Da Vinci Kalani from a crib to a full sized bed and ordered the rails (white kit) from Amazon. Rails were delivered within two days and looks great. In some ways, I expected more for the price rather than two wooden side bars and bolts. I knew that the kit would come with no slats but it would have been nice if Kalani (MDB) had designed the crib so that it could accommodate a mid beam and include that with the the kit. Fixing the rails is relatively straightforward. Requires a bit of dis-assembly but 30 mins or so and I had the crib converted to the full size bed frame. My wife and I read to our son before he goes to bed so it was imperative that we get some slats or a box spring to support our weight. First stop was the local Ikea store to see if I could get slats for the frame but unfortunately all the full sized slats require a beam in the middle so it was a no go. I decided to get a little creative and went to Home depot and got 8 1x3" boards and had them cut it down to the exact width (52 1/4"). This leaves a 1/4" gap to the side rails. Next, I ordered ~10 yards of 1" white nylon ribbon from Amazon and used a staple gun to staple the wooden slats at 9" intervals on both sides. The idea was this will keep the slats from sliding outwards on the frame. For the first and last slats, I nailed in plastic spacers to prevent the slats/nylon ribbon from compressing towards the center. The whole assembly is now quite taut and hopefully work well. Total cost for the slats + nylon assembly ~$40. I have added a couple of images.

theMDBfamily.com does a terrible job labeling their different cribs. They have these NAMES for different styles but the manual that I have only have style number. I bought a Davinci Kalani 3 years ago and the manual has no mentioning of the style name 'Kalani'... it just has 8501. Then when I go to order railings for these to convert it into a fullsize bed, it took me an hour to research just to order this conversion kit which was WRONG as it does NOT have the hardware to connect the bed foot board. Hey, the description says 'Davinci Twin/Full Size Bed Conversion Kit"! and as a consumer, I don't know there are quite a lot of the DaVinci cribs. I don't work at theMDBfamily to know that. So by poor description, it wasted my time and shipping costs for these to be returned. I then return this set. After another hour of searching on the internet, I ordered to correct set (crib manual says '5789', but the actual model number is 'M5789Q'). I don't know if theMDBfamily purposely tries to confuse consumers for fun or if they just don't have any marketing skills to keep the consistency of the model number. Consistency in documentation is definitely not their strength. Anyway, the 2nd (and correct) set arrived... and I had no hardware for it. It was critical that I had to have 2 brackets. It came with no brackets, no screws, no nuts... nothing. So, again, it has to go back. The 3rd set was finally correct, but now after 3 shipping costs to send these railings to me, and 2 shipping costs to return the not-usable railings, and 2 trips for me to drive to UPS (which defeated the purpose of ordering online)... what would the profit be for this product? I have no idea, but the 2 packages of railings that I ended up returning... now they have to be sold as 'refurb' as they are no longer new. Go figure. The crib was not bad. The conversion is a good idea. It is a shame that they do not have their act together in labeling and product description. They have a website but it's totally useless. It's there to advertise their products only. There is no customer service for theMDBfamily. Seriously, I have ordered things from china and has a better chance matching up parts.

Seems a bit much for just a couple of side rails, but everything fit as expected. Used this to convert a Kalani crib to a full size bed. No extra hardware needed and the finish matched the crib. Be aware that this is the rails only. You will need a foundation to use a mattress. I made a set of bed slats to make sure I got a good fit, and so far everything works great. The full size mattress we bought fits fine. My kid has jumped and climbed all over this thing and so far so good. Hopefully we'll be using this bed for years to come.

I don't usually provide reviews, but I noticed they make a big influence on my decision to buy, so I wanted to share my experience. When I first opened the box, I noticed the instructions were very simple and easy to follow. My hubby was sick, so I decided to complete this task of converting her bed all by myself. First, I disassembled the side rails of the daybed and kept the screws and lock nuts to use for completing the foot board. I needed to add the rail on top and the 2 side pieces and the screws worked perfectly for that. Once that was complete, I had my hubby simply hold the rails (2 people are needed to complete this part) in place and the 8 screws included with the rails were all that was needed to attach both rails to the head and foot boards. It was the perfect to convert my daughter's 4 in 1 DaVinci Emily bed. No longer screws or extra drilling was needed to convert the bed. It was a perfect match in color, although I bought her crib 5 years ago (November 2013) and I just purchased the rails this week (January 2019). I paired it perfectly with a 5 inch Zinus low profile smart box spring and an 8 inch LinenSpa gel foam mattress, which made it the perfect height for my 5 year olds "Big Girl Bed". I slept on it with her the first night and it was super cozy and comfortable. I'd definitely recommend these rails to convert your DaVinci Emily 4 in 1 crib to a full size bed. She loves it and so do I...

We love this conversion kit and understand it is the rails only. While it would have been helpful to have slats, we too struggled with what to do to support the mattress. We purchased the Signature sleep mattress to go along with it but it just wasn't sturdy enough without box springs. We didn't want to use box springs b/c we wanted it to be shorter for our 4 year old as this is what she moved to directly from her toddler bed. I mean, that's the whole reason to buy the crib to begin with, right?? We weren't going to put this bed in storage to put her in a twin. Anyway, to save you some time, easy solution. Here is what we did. I went to the local lumberyard and purchased three 10-foot 1x12's. I needed 6 boards that were 52 and 1/4" long. They cut them for me, loaded them up, I put them on the rails and laid the mattress on top and it has worked perfectly!!! Very simple solution and it wasn't costly at all. The boards showed a little at the bottom of the bed, but if it bothered you, you could always paint them. The comforter covers them up and it doesn't bother us one bit. Measure your boards to make sure the length is right for you, I don't want to be responsible in case it is off any. :) But three 1x12's should take care of it for you.

Love it

Was perfect

This was easy to assemble to convert our mini crib to a twin bed. The only downside is that it isn't quite as sturdy as a regular bed frame. I was fine on it, but a larger person (say 200 lbs and up) might break it if one is not careful.

We were really happy with the crib and the conversion kit so ordered this as well for when our daughter was big enough. Well she is now big enough so went to set it up and realized that there is no bolts or nuts to set it up. I had to find the right barrel nut and legth of bolt. I had to carefully drill the spots for the barrel nuts as some were not quite deep enough. I also had to drill holes in the foot piece as they were not existant. I find the bed is not too sturdy, I won't even lay in it as I feared the beams will crack. I will probably put a leg in the middle of each for some support. If I had it to do again I would not buy this kit and juts get a new frame. Unless you enjoy playing macguyver I would recommend a pass

This is a part of a crib that says its an all-in-one pretty much, but you have to spend a ridiculous amount of money for just side bars to the crib. The crib itself wasn't actually an all-in-one, and these are, in my opinion, over priced for what they are. These should be no more than $40-50, so asking $150 is absolutely absurd seeing as they are literally just 2 pieces of wood . I'm worried to check these if they actually match the color of the crib as a number of people have said the colors don't match at all. We'll see though.
