Was not terribly hard to put together the wood quality was average but the final product looks great.  Its better than spending 1200 bucks for one of those fancy cribs.  The only downfall is that I cannot fill it up with water.  It just flows through the slots in the wood.  This usually doesn't happen on our planet.  I was not sure how to fix this.  I tried taping the slots but water just won't hold.  Our baby has gills so she needs water to get her O2 until her final transformation.  I got around this by installing an anti gravity dome under the crib.  Now the water floats just level with the top of the crib.  Our baby loves it, plenty of room to swim around and splash.  She just shed her first layer of scales this week so we will be using the toddler portion of this crib shortly.
