Took about an hour to do by myself. After the whole thing was about together, just a few last bolts to install, 4 of the holes didn’t match up all the way through the pieces so we had to drill the holes out to make them work. Annoying. Wayfair did give a discount due to the issue. This is the first mass-produced crib I have ever purchased (last one was a handmade log convertible crib from a woodworker) so I am skeptical at the quality and how well it will stand up but I do like the playhouse vibe and the quality isn’t terrible seeming. I wish I could find the canopy for sale.
