The best way to do this is to measure the gap between the front and back sides of the crib and the dowel that runs parallel to the sides. The gap should be no more than two and three eighths inches (2 3/8"), as shown in the images. If the gap is greater than 2 3/8", the side has been installed upside-down and needs to be re-assembled.
