It's perfect for us. Although Our 5 month old had out grown her bassinet,  we weren't ready to put her in her room alone just yet. The mini crib is small enough to keep in our room without it taking up too much space and it's super easy to put together. Our little one had recently stopped sleeping through the night.. she went almost two weeks of waking up consistently at 4am. I believe it was because she was uncomfortable in her bassinet. Since her first night in her mini crib she has gone back to sleeping through the night. I would have given it five stars but the mattress it comes with is a joke. It's about an inch thick. We had to add some layers to it before putting a sheet on.
