I had no trouble with broken parts, though there are several replacement parts (wooden dowels) provided with the unit.
I was very surprised to see that it was made of solid wood and was very sturdy once assembled. The directions are clear and I easily put it together in the 36th week of my pregnancy. The only downfall was that I assembled it in the living room and it doesn't fit through standard doorways. I had to remove the canopy and turn it sideways to fit into my bedroom.
I read in another reveiw that it doesn't have wheels. Mine does.
I also read that the canopy is crooked. The pole is manufactured to angle slightly over the rear of the bassinet.
The shelf under the bassinet is convenient but is clearly not meant to hold anything over a few pounds.
The screws in the top of the bassinet do not distract from its beauty and attribute to the sturdiness.
The bedding is beautiful and the directions state to wash in cold water and to put all of the velcro straps together before washing. This may prevent the fraying and shrinkage. The sheets on the website come in 2 colors white or ecru. it is $22.00 for 2 sheets. Not a terrible price. The sheet could be a little better quality, but the matress is fine. It is thin (1"), but bassinet and cradle matresses are supposed to be.
Overall the piece is just as beautiful as the picture. Is very sturdy, and can probably hold more than the 20 pound limit (not that I am recommending this). I am very very happy with this item. Get more detail about
