Bought thus crib for our 4th child...wish I knew about it for my 1st!!! Make sure to follow directions carefully and all is good. My husband likes to skip steps and does not pay attention to specific sizes /lengths of screws and which goes where-- ling stiry short, he then wants to go out to the hardware store to purchase longer screws. I told him to stop and I took over. I had to undue everything he did but it still only took 1.5hr for me to completely put together the crib the CORRECT way:) very happy with the outcome --gorgeous crib!!! & our baby LOVES sleeping in his new bed!!
