Very happy with this portable folding crib. It folds small enough to slide to the side, out of the way. It may fit under a bed...but we didn't try that. The only thing that we didn't like at all, was the 1" Mattress pad which is useless unless you are using the crib as a playpen. We needed to buy a thicker firmer mattress. We are very happy with our wood color selection, but were very surprised at how large the selection was. It was hard to choose. This was not hard to put together, although it would probably have been better with 2 people. It was just awkward with one person doing it. It really is a very pretty crib! As a grandparent with a first grandchild, we wanted a folding crib that will last thru many children. Our grandson is 6 months and very active. So far, so good!
