CC KITS Full-Size Conversion Kit Bed Rails for Sorelle Cribs (Espresso, Model #215)

I installed these rails to convert my son’s Sorelle Vista Elite Crib into a full size bed. This is an excellent quality product that came with two minor hitches. First the good notes:Pros:Excellent color match and finish work on the wood.The fact that this is a solid wood piece is really really nice to see.They send extra parts (Nice touch).Installed very easy.Even the included slats are very solid.Shipped rather fast compared to the online time estimate.All the pieces were very well protected inside the box.Cons:The included slats, while pre-drilled and solid, were cut exactly 3/4” too long. I don’t know if this is a descrepancy with Sorelle or the guy running the saw that day didn’t get his morning coffee. Not a big deal, I cut them to the correct length in a couple minutes and put them in.What were supposed to be included screws for the slats were not included. Again not a big deal.I debated about giving these rails a 4 or 5 star for a while, here is why I went for 5. I imagine the minor issues listed are one off issues and I don’t think a company that makes rails this well would miss these steps on a regular basis. These rails are cheaper than the Sorelle branded rails, and these are solid wood. If I were an executive at Sorelle I would be reaching out to this company promptly with a contract.If you don’t feel like paying for extra expensive Sorelle rails and hoping that one day they come off backorder, give these folks a shot. They make a solid product.

Matches the Sorelle Vista Elite Vintage Frost crib (not the changer/crib combo) perfectly. Very easy to install. I would recommend a bunkie board, not a traditional box spring as the bed is VERY high when you add a box and a mattress. The only problem was the plugs included in the kit were the wrong color and the wrong size to fill the holes on the headboard. We used the gold hole-fillers from the toddler bed kit instead.

Ease of assembly, look and sturdiness

It came fast. The k my issue we had were the wooden rails for the bottom did not fit in the bed frame so we had to buy a box spring for the bed.

Usually when you purchase wood unless you pick it yourself you get some that bent or has imperfections. Not in the case of this product. All pieces were of excellent quality and straight as an arrow! Don't hesitate to purchase. Please note this product does not work with the changer. So if you purchased the 4-1 crib with changer it will NOT work.

Matched crib had perfectly. Had to swap out the connector pieces with other ones they sent to get a tight fit. Easy to swap and glad they sent extra hardware for just such a case. If not planning on a box spring I would order the extra set of slats that they also have available. Otherwise perfect for upgrading my toddlers bed/crib to a full size bed. Especially since Sorelle no longer makes the Vintage Frost rails anymore.

The paint on the wood is good quality but It is not sturdy what so ever. They only provide 4 wooden slates and nothing to cross it down the middle for extra support. Also, they don’t provide any legs or anything to keep it from sinking. My son was asleep so I was going to carry him to our bed to wash his sheets so I sat on the bed and we almost broke the bed(weight about 180 or so). To reinforce this, I am looking to add about 150 on top of the $200 spent on this. You might as well just buy a metal bed frame and attach the head board and foot board of your crib. If the manufacturer just added one more wood slate across and one down the middle and 4 to 6 leg parts this review would be 5 out 5. I give it a 1 star over all because what use is a nice bed that you can’t possibly use once your child starts really using the bed or if someone sits on it and it comes apart.

The product itslelf was easy to install and very sturdy, my only complaint is that nowhere in the description does it say that it’s very high up. A regular box spring will make the bed way too tall.
