I really like the concept of this - its simple and works great on a budget and its been a great segue from crib to bed for our toddler. 

But the wood was not terribly smooth, and the very first day, our toddler got a massive splinter that took a long (painful) time to get out. And the screws are not seamless-looking. Even after a few coats of paint, its still evident that it could cause splinters. I just wish I would have known that the wood was not going to be smooth.
