ABSTRACT:
An article of furniture which may be configured in the form of a crib, a youth bed, or an adult bed, wherein a crib structure is produced through the employment of a rear panel, a right side panel, a left side panel, a front panel and a first mattress support frame. The front panel comprises of a stabilizer bar and a gate. The gate is movable to permit greater access to the confines of the crib. The gate may be in the form of a "swing" gate or a "drop" gate. The crib is convertible to a youth bed by rearranging and/or eliminating components forming the gate and stabilizer bar. The gate or stabilizer bar may be arranged to form a roll bar to prevent a slumbering toddler from rolling off of the edge of the mattress, and when pivotally inverted, eliminate the roll bar and function to provide increased stability. The stabilizer bar may be removed and reattached to the youth bed at alternative locations, where the same is substantially concealed while providing increased stability for the youth bed configuration. The youth bed is convertible to an adult bed through a further rearrangement and/or elimination of structural elements. Particularly, the right and left side panels are replaced by right and left bed rails and the mattress support frame is eliminated. The rear panel defines a headboard and the front panel, or a portion thereof, defines a footboard. The transition from one configuration to another is simple.
