Son out grew his toddler bed!

my honest opinion is that you did a great job. I don’t care if it’s your first real project or your last!

My only question is whether or not the matress will show on the footboard. Is there another piece that will cover up the bottom of the matress or will the slats be at the bottom of those cross pieces?

-- The secret to getting ahead is getting started.

The fact that you made it for your son commands the opinion,
“IT COULD NOT BE MADE ANY BETTER”

-- A childs smile is payment enough.

I think you did an excellant job. I do like the arts and crafts style you used. I was surprised to read that the bed was made from poplar, looks like a much more expensive wood. Keep on building on.

Very nice. I love this style. I know you’re looking for critique from seasoned woodworkers but that’s not me. I can tell you that I hope I can do as well some day.

Looks damn nice to me, what’s to make better?

Cory – I added another picture to the posting of the mattress. I hope this answers your question. Don’t mind the mess. At 4 years old he hasn’t mastered cleaning his room yet.

Dan – Here are the dimensions. 80” long, 34” wide. Headboard is 40” high. Posts were laminated 4/4 planed boards. They are approx. 2 3/4” X 2 3/4”

Very nice!

That’s really beautiful. You’ll be reading stories to your grandkids in that.
