I have been on the hunt for a bassinet where the side comes down. I found it! I am so glad, however I do wish it was a little easier to put up and put down. I thought I could lower it quickly, but it does seem to take a bit of effort. Not the easiest thing to put the side back up or take down without the little one waking up. It’s possible, just takes a bit of effort. It was fairly easy to put together other than the pictures with the directions not being very clear. I do love that it requires no tools, however.
