This is the first time I comment on your site, but I’ve been keeping up with your work for a while now. I admire the passion with which you write the articles and hope someday I can do the same. Love

I just had to say thanks for this great idea. I was able to put this together in a few hours and my son absolutely loves his new ‘big boy bed’. I was able to get a 4×8 sheet of 7/16 plywood at home depot for $7.50 as well as three 2×2 furring strips for $1.50 each. Then walmart had the batting for $5 and I got $1.50/yd fabric. My total cost was $20. I can’t thank you enough for the great idea!

Thanks for the tutorial! I saw the link posted on dragonfly designs. My husband and I built one together for our boy over the weekend as our date night. It turned out awesome! Luckily he was there with me and made adjustments like adjusting for the crib mattress and thicker plywood. Thanks again!

my local home depot has low-cost plywood, but have you tried a local lumber liquidators or salvage yard? that could be another low cost option if your home depot/lowes isn’t stocking the cheaper stuff.
