Took about 45 minutes to put together.  Bssinnest was in our room and baby used this for the first 8 or so weeks.  The canopy and hanging bears were sort of unnecessary; the bears were all white and sort of small so I'm not sure how much the baby could really see them when they were hanging over. The nightlight feature was useful for quick peeks in the middle of the night but we didn't really use the music or vibrating features. Overall, bassinet suited our purposes and was a good lower priced bassinet for the first couple of weeks before baby moved to the crib.
