After reading tons of reviews and reading consumer reports, we decided on this crib for our first. Unlike many of the other reviewers, our box arrived perfectly intact and and crib itself was in perfect condition. The best part was that it arrived in just two days. I was able to put the crib together with hardly any help from my husband (who is not too good with tools...putting things together, etc) who only had to hold something while I tightened it. The only things I did have trouble with was putting on the feet (because some of the holes were not lined up properly) and getting some of the locking pieces to line up with the screws (because the holes for them were drilled too deep). I ended up having to put small folded pieces of paper in the holes for the locks so they would sit up higher so the screw could go through.The quality is great and the wood is beautiful. You can't get a better crib for the price!
