Worked well for us...
We used two extra pieces on each leg to bring the co-sleeper to the perfect height for our bed. Worked like a charm! Expensive yes, but the right tool for the job.

not sturdy
I love that they make the sleeper level with the bed but... anytime we move the sleeper the legs fall off. This also could be dangerous if one of my other kids lean in to get a look at the baby.

Shop Around
I agree that these extenders are an inferior product and an obvious attempt by the manufacturer to gouge additional money from consumers. We found a much better product at Bed Bath & Beyond. They are intended as bed height extenders, but work perfectly with the co-sleeper. In fact, they are muc more stable than the cosleeper and they are only $12.99. Definitely shop around!

Excellent
The leg extenders are excellent and much neede to elevate the co-sleeper bed to the height of our be and to elevate the area where the head is positioned to avoid acid reflux in my baby. i am most happy with this product and i highly recommend it.

a must have if you have a king size bed
LOVE my co-sleeper, but you will need the extensions especially if you have a king size bed or a high mattress. Sweet dreams...

Not worth the money
Product is not worth the money. Made the bassinet very unstable.

Leg extensions are best bet
To bring the co-sleeper up to the height of the bed, these leg extensions are the best bet. Yes, as someone else said, they do make it a little shaky.
So if you are not planning to attach the co-sleeper to your bed, you may want to leave the height alone. (You'll be getting up anyway, so it probably doesn't matter how tall it is.) But once attached to the bed with the anchor strap, rather than free-standing, it was very secure.

Unsafe, unfortunately your options are limited
These extensions should have been included with the co-sleeper. As it is, the co-sleeper is lower than the average adult bed and the extensions are required if you want your child sleeping on your level. The fact that they sell it as a separate item is pure gouging for an extra few bucks, which is irritating. They are simple pieces of plastic and shouldn't add but a dollar or two to Arms Reach's cost.

There are twelve pieces, so you can use a max of 3 pieces per leg to increase it to the maximum height. We had to do just that, and found that the three connected pieces are *very* unstable.

It's too bad they charge so much for a poorly constructed set of unstable plastic pieces. What they should do is provide a set of pieces of varying heights, to prevent too many connections to a bed that's holding your precious child.
