As some of the other reviews have stated, the instructions for this crib are confusing.  It took my husband almost 2 hours to get it together.  The most time consuming part is the changer.  He said a few times during the process, that they either skip steps, or put them on the next page which can get very confusing.  The crib is BEAUTIFUL though.  The outside packaging was a little banged up when it got to the house, but the crib itself is packaged very well, and there was no damage to it.  We are thrilled to put our little girl in this crib once she arrives.
