Convertible Furniture Assembly

Abstract

A convertible furniture assembly for selective use as a crib, bed and play pen includes a pair of end boards. Each of a pair of first railings is coupled to an opposing side edge of each end board. The end boards and the first railings are right angularly positioned. A frame is reversibly couplable to and extends between the end boards. The frame extends between the first railings. The assembly comprises a mattress that is substantially complementary to the frame. The frame and the pair of first railings are selectively vertically positionable between a top and a bottom of each end board. The frame is positioned to support the mattress in a crib configuration, a playpen configuration and a bed configuration. The first railings are selectively positionable for the crib configuration, the playpen configuration and the bed configuration.
