This bassinet was simple to set up. I got it put together by myself quickly. My newborn baby absolutely loves it! Right away he slept so much better in it. The mattress doesn’t make any noise when he moves and it seems comfortable. The mattress is at a perfect height and it’s easy to pick him up from it. The sides of the bassinet are mostly mesh and I’m able to see him through it while in my bed. The height of the bassinet is adjustable to a variety different heights from the sides. It could also be attached to my bed with anchors and at the same height as my bed.
