My husband had to work and I was too excited to wait to put the crib together in the baby's room.  I timed myself and it literally took me 21 minutes to put the whole thing together.  The bed comes with the toddler bed conversion rail and slats, as well as, the bracket(s) needed to attach a full sized frame when the need arises.  The wood and finish are rich and will continue to look rich and timeless for  years to come.
