I am on baby number 5 and have plenty experience of building cots and cot beds. This cot was a joy to build. All the parts and hardware were labeled clearly. Even the screws were individually bagged. The instructions were clear and could be easily followed by a complete novice. The instructions advised it was a two person job however, I easily built this alone. The drawer is sturdy and high quality. The cot pieces fit flawlessly and builds a strong cot. I couldn’t recommend this more highly!
