We have bought a lot of furniture over the years that you assemble at home so we typically expect to have confusing directions, pieces and hardware spread out everywhere, and a good deal of time spent reading and rereading the instructions to finally get the furniture built. This crib was SO EASY to assemble! It was only about 6 steps total and the hardware it came with was so well packaged and labeled (picture attached) that we were able to set it up in probably 20 minutes or so. I would recommend having a second set of hands around for holding the sides up while the other person puts in the screws. They are pretty light though, so nothing an expecting momma can't handle! Our baby hasn't arrived yet, so I can't comment on the quality with use, but it looks great in our nursery that is slowing coming together and feels very sturdy. 

Pros: Reasonable price, easy to assemble, looks great
