I picked these up from a bunk bed store and cut em down. They already matched as far as the stain/color. The Ladders were purchased from the same store.

My only concern would be someone getting scratched on the nut/end of bolt above the mattress.

I concur. I ground the bolt flush with the end of nut then smoothed it with another polishing disc. You cant see it but bolt doesn't come past nut and it's flush and smooth. Good tip on the acorn nut. Never thought of that. Would have saved a bit of time. Good tip by the other poster too with the rubber caps.
