It took me about an hour to put it together, but it would have actually gone much more quickly if it hadn't been for the mobile, lol! I got the actual crib together in about 40 minutes but figuring out how to tie on the little mobile charms was stumping me for some reason, haha! I was so pleased when I did get it all put together though! The construction is solid, it's absolutely adorable, and I love the additional storage for toys and dolls accessories that come under it! My daughter loves it too! She was especially impressed that the mobile really works-it spins around and plays a song. I had to wind up a bunch of times the first day we go it! This crib has already gotten a ton of use and I know that because it's built so well it will continue to be played with lots for years and years to come!I received this crib to do a review of at [@] The opions above are entirely my own.
