Just ordered this for my daughter's birthday. I bought it understanding the assembly is... involved. Any advice to avoid mistakes in assembly?

It took my husband a good two hours to put this together. The holes didn't line up, so it was a little harder to get together. They may not all be like that. It was really, really cute when we got it all together, and our granddaughter loved it.

This company cancelled my order without telling me. That was three days before my granddaughter's birthday so I had to quickly, and this was while visiting from out of state, find another gift. There customer service was said to be so good in other reviews that that was one reason I chose this brand. I did not get the same treatment as other people. They were of no help. I wish you better luck on receiving and putting it together than what I had.

Follow the instructions. It will take a while to assemble. My kids were pacing and impatient bit it got done. Just take it step by step.

Just take your time, go slow and read instruction carefully. Follow step by step.

You should have had a parts list.... There are screws for the corners.... My husband put it together and everything was there. Was your box damaged in transit?(ours was and the corner of the table was shredded, we fixed it ourselves because of time from Christmas....)If you had damage maybe the packet of screws fell out before you received your purchase. My husband had no problem putting it together. Sorry I can't be of more help.

worst part of this whole fairly terrible assembly. put the screws into the legs first (apart from the base) and screw them all the way in and out a couple of times. Then assemble on the base. And find a better allen wrench than the one that comes with the kitchen.

Ours came mostly assembled. Just a few screws here and there as I can recall. It was a few years ago though. We are still playing w/ it years later. It holds up very well to play, even w/ a rough boy added to our family. Hope that helps!

We bought ours over a year ago, so I don't remember if it was advertised as a "Fully Assembled" version or not (I would tend to lean towards the not, as I did have to assemble it). If I recall correctly, assembly involved picking between a shelf or non-shelf version of connector between the legs, and then tightening around six bolts to attach the seat to the legs and the legs to a central support connector (we went with the shelf version). I don't recall it being especially complex or difficult to put together.

Good luck! I assume you mean after it's assembled, right? I couldn't figure it out. We worked and worked with it. I was afraid to break it. I love the mobile and the little animals are adorable, but it must snap back out. I understand your trepidation; you don't want to break it.

I'm sorry, I can't help! My son put it together and if I remember correctly, it was a pain. Good luck!

You need to assemble it yourself...mine also came with some cosmetic issues, but nothing that would cause me to send it back.

My BF and I assembled it, and we used the tools provided. The only other item you might want is the WD-40 that most other people seem to recommend. We didn't have any around the house so we didn't use any while putting everything together. It seems like a million pieces when you open the box and spread the contents on the floor, but if you follow the directions and look at the pictures you should be able to figure it out. Be prepared to spend about 2-3 hours assembling it. There were a few hiccups along the way trying to get some parts to fit together, but we figured it out.

It's kind of a pain to assemble. I had to call the manufacturer. I only assembled my unites once and let them be so I don't remember exactly how to put it together but there is a very specific way to do it!

I have the same problem. Bought 2. Tried to assemble one and ran into difficulty. I tried to follow the picture but was unsucessful. No writen instructions came with the units

My daughter and husband assembled them. They said the first ones were hard, but once they got the hang of them, it went fast and was easy. Is there someone that can help you figure it out?

Email the company. It's really ez to assemble. If I find my instructions I will let you know

Hmm are you asking because you have purchased the item and need to know how to put it together? Or because you are wondering if it hard to put together. I don't remember if it came with instructions I bought it so long ago. But I can take a picture of the assembly and pieces tomorrow if you are interested. I'm pretty sure there has been a product update, not sure if that affects it.

Mine came with a thorough set of assembly instructions, and Crosley was very helpful when I had a flawed part. I would recommend contacting Crosley. I bet they would send you an instruction booklet promptly or perhaps tell you where to get one online.The Crosley web site is http://www.crosleyfurniture.com/

It was completely assembled as I recall. It is large, so may be hard to get out of packaging. My daughter and I did it with no problems.

I bought the crib for my granddaughter so her dad has the assembly manual and he is at work right now. I called him and he will look for it when he gets home this evening. Meanwhile, you may want to go to afgfurniture.com and select 'contact us' at the top of the page. If no luck there, you may find a video of the assembly on YouTube. Get back with me if you still can't get it online and we will do what we can to get the instructions to you. Also, you should be able to contact the seller via Amazon and report the missing assembly manual. I hope this helps.
