My husband and I assembled the crib together. I went together well and is beautiful. It is exactly what I wanted and true to picture. My only complaint is the T and U labeled pieces for assembly. They cross thread very easily and presented as a challenging part for assembly (there are several of them for assembly). This would not in any way deter me from purchasing this crib. However, it just requires added patience when putting it together. We also bought the changing table which was easy to put together- I love it!
