We ordered two of these cribs on a Monday night, and they arrived safely that Thursday.  When we took the first out of the box, I was impressed by how well the pieces were packed. Assembly was a two person job (at one step a third person was helpful), but fairly easy. They finished cribs look great! We're very happy with them at this point. There are still a few months before the twins arrive,  but I'm confident these will meet our needs!
