We haven't actually used the crib yet, but the product seems very well made and wasn't difficult to put together. It does take an hour or two with two people, but the instructions are pretty good. I was worried the crib might be damaged when it arrived because the box was pretty torn up (probably from trying to drag it up the steep driveway to the door), but everything was in great condition - no damage or scratches! The wood is soft, and we put a good scratch in it while putting it together, but it's on the back and not noticeable. I read that there could be a chemical smell and was concerned, but the crib materials themselves seem odorless (we did open the windows to air things out just in case). The packaging did have an odor, but we removed that quickly, and all seems fine. The changing table pad does seem thin, but I'm not sure how important that will be. Overall, we're excited to start using the crib!

Pros: Easy to assemble; convenient design; sturdy product
