So far so good...
We purchased this pack n' play because everyone we knew told us that this was one of those "have to have" items. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about how big it looked, and how all the pieces were going to go together.
It only took my husband about 20 minutes to get it put together the first time. This included things like plugging in the electronics, putting all the railings inside the napper and the changing table, and figuring out how it all went together. The instructions are pretty good, but the order they put them in is wrong. If you are using the napper, the electronics get attached to it instead of the middle of the bassinet area as the directions lead you to believe. Other than that, I have no doubt that it will only be a few minutes to put it together the second time.
The quality is good. Even the napper portion seems to be well made. I will have to wash it a few times to see how it holds up though.
One hint to people new to this brand... when you go to break it down, after you take off the changer and the napper, you have to pull up on the handle in the middle of the playarea. We didn't realize quite how high you have to pull up, so don't be shy. Once the middle piece is pulled up, you can then release the butons on the side for it to fully collapse. When you go to set it up, make sure the all four of the side bars are bent upwards (in an upside down v shape). Then, after you push the middle piece down, the sides will lock right in. My husband found it was easiest to pick up the whole thing and push in the middle to get it all to lock without fighting gravity as much.
It seems just the right size now that I have it next to the bed. I thought it was going to be too tall. Our bed sits on the floor (so mattress and boxspring only) and this is set up so that I just have to lift my head to look in at the baby. No different than looking for the clock on the bedside table.
I'm very happy with the purchase, but since the baby won't be here for a few more months, I will reserve the 5-star rating until I actually get to use it.
Oh, the color's nice too. Mostly brown and green. The mattress is green, but will be covered by a sheet. Don't be thrown by the pictures.. the napper is not pink. It's neutral.
