I love the way this looks and it's sturdy, but I did not think it was easy to assemble. We had a difficult time attaching the bottom (the part that the mattress actually rests on) to the sides of the crib, and it's been an enormous hassle whenever we've had to adjust the height. I'm still happy with the purchase overall, but I'm absolutely dreading having to readjust the height again when baby #2 comes along!
