Good job fixing your table and good job saving the crib. I had an old crib (as old as me!) and not usable because the spindles aren't close together enough to be usable in this day and age. I took off the sliding sides, stood them on their ends and use them as quilt display. Sorta like a ladder some use but shorter & wider. Haven't figured out a use for the ends yet but still have them.
Your new table looks really nice too!
