Mediocre at best
These rails fit the Sorelle crib that I purchased them for, however I am not impressed with this for a few reasons.1. My daughter is two and a half and we figured we would put a boxspring on the floor and a matress on top of that to keep the bed low for a while. Because of the way the rails are installed, the support makea it nearly impossible to make the bed without the rails becoming unlatched from the headboard and footboard.2. To remidy this we decided to install the cross braces and just use the mattress. This does go together, but the rails are pine and they are not stiff enough. Like any kid, she jumped on the bed while i was finishing and the rails flex way too much. With my wife or I sitting next to her and i couldnt imagine this lasting long (total of maybe 175-180lbs on the bed). I replaced the 4 pine rails with 6 poplar rails and a reinforcing 1x2 vertically installed (think like a T shaped cross section) and now it is rock solid.3. The kit didnt come with plastic screws or some covers to go over the threaded holes normally used on the crib sides. Small thing, and a hardware store solved this, but it would be nice to include them.Overall, not impressed with the cost compared to some of our friends crib conversions.

Solid Product
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.

Doesn't fit perfectly
I have the Sorelle Vista Elite crib. This is my third child and my third crib conversion. I never bought the conversions provided by the company (my husband is handy and would retro-fit inexpensive frames). It's hard to find the hook frames and I had a little trouble with fitting my last crib so we decided just to go for the no-worry solution and buy the frame meant for the crib full-bed conversion. Well...it's loose. I spent over $100 for a frame that now shakes. My handy husband is going to have to fix this one too. At least it looks good and my husband can fix it (spending a little more $) which is why I'm giving it a 3/5,

Great 👍🏻
We had the Sorelle Princeton Elite 4-1 crib, which was converted to a toddler bed and now to a full size bed. When we purchased the conversion kit and we received it (which took only some days to receive, which was great!) when we opened it we thought we had received the wrong kit because it looked like we needed slots on the headboard and footboard to be able to hook on what it looked like hooks on the ends of the wooden frame we received. We contacted the seller and with no questions asked they shipped the adapter we needed to be able to use the frame. It happened in such a professional manner and we received the adapters in such a timely manner that we couldn’t be happier! Awesome frame and awesome seller!

Easy to install, color matched perfectly!
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.

Slats too big.
I would have given this all 5 stars however, the slats are too long for my bed. Which is very irritating considering I am getting the full size mattress today and now I have to wait for new slats. It was easy to put together though. I also think there should be starter hole where you should put the slats. Other then that I like this product.

Great Product!
I was concerned when ordering, since this wasn't a Sorelle product. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The product came quickly and appears to be good quality. It was a breeze to install. Directions were written in clear English (although, you didn't even need the directions since everything came pretty much ready to go). We have the Vista Elite crib and it fit perfectly. I would recommend choosing this product over other conversion kits and save yourself some $$$!

Not everything you need for a sturdy frame.
It's definitely easy to install however! The slats for the center are very weak and since there are only 4 of them they definitely do not cover the length of the bed with good enough support. I was afraid to even test lay on it after installing them. Thinking if getting more slats that are stronger because j know once my kid trys to jump on the bed it's going to break.Little annoyed even after spending money on this kit, I still need to go out and buy more slats for it to be actually functional a supported bed frame.
