I just assembled this crib by myself over the weekend. The package came in great condition, shipping took about the week. Assembly was straight forward, the directions were pretty easy to follow (even with pregnancy brain). I was excited to see the hardware was all divided up, pre-counted and labeled in the package. The frame is very solid. Several people who I have shown it to with small children pointed out how very sturdy and strong it feels. My only reason for not giving this crib 5 stars is because some, not all of the rungs are a little rough. Nothing a little fine grit sandpaper can't fix, but I felt like it wasn't quite a 5-star crib for this reason. Still, I would recommend it to other mothers.
