Instructions were not exact with actual crib but I used common sense and my 8 yr old and I were able to put this crib together in about 45 min. It’s a pretty simple assembly. Perfect size and elegant look! I took advice from other reviews and purchased a Niki 3” mini crib mattress. The mattress included with this crib isn’t not ideal for a baby or toddler to sleep on. Overall it’s a great buy! Thank you Wayfair!
