I felt intimidated when i opened the box but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. My husband and I assembled this in an hour. The quality is much higher than I expected. I liked that almost all the furniture pieces came assembled. Something small but even the package with the screws was impressive - they were labeled ok both sides, perforated, and easy to open. With twins, this is large enough for both girls to play with it at the same time. I am extremely pleased with this product!
