I don't recommend
Unfortunately I am quite disappointed with this item.
when I was hunting bassinet I thought this was the most affordable (the price was $65) but still has decent looks. Then I bought this and used for 4 month for my baby because I did not have choice. (sorry my sweetie.)

The basket is made of cardboard. I tried to think because it needed to be light weight but stable enough, but I had to really careful not lean on to prevent smash it. Secure snap is screwed on the side of this cardboard and obviously cardboard would not hold metal screw. They were broken off when I detach the snap. Then I used ductape to secure the basket to the base.

Wheels are not stable enough for this purpose. One of them broke when I hit the corner of wall. The parts to tighten the wheels to the base made with plastic and when I screw it too tight it broke too. Then I needed to take all the wheel parts off to use without wheels as a rocker.

Beddings. They are OK. The canopy worked for newborn baby want to sleep with the sealing light on. However, after the second wash they started shred...

Mattress. Quite thin, but may be OK for right weight newborns. My baby slept better with extra padding (I used fleece blanket under the sheets).

Can use as a toy box? Questionable. The boards comes with to make a box is quite thin ply wood. Kids tend to get in the box to play because of its size. The thin ply wood should not be safe for that situation. And even if the wheels are still OK condition, the construction of wheels is not strong enough to carry the toys around.

Over all, if you need something mobile to have newborn baby in, THIS IS NOT THE ONE. I recently bought Graco Pack and play with bassinet (which is the least fancy one as a pack and play ) and found that the Pack and play was all I need.

Is OK
Its ok. It served its purpose, but it is not worth the price. I would have gotten something more padded. The pad is pretty thin. I would have spent another $20 to get something with better quality more bells and whistles.

Should be recalled!! Fell apart! Don't buy!
Very poor quality. The bottom collapsed and the bassinet fell to the floor. I'm so glad my daughter wasn't in it at the time. She could have been seriously hurt. My daughter hated this bassinet. It might as well have been a carboard box with a thin piece of foam. The mattress was terrible. She would fall asleep on my bed no problem, so it wasn't a sleeping issue. I had to buy a new mattress to get my daughter to sleep in it. I managed to salvage the bottom half to use as the toy box, but I just keep it in the corner of the room to hold stuffed animals.

Nice as bassinet...not as toybox
I used this for my daughter as an extra place to nap. I didn't like the canopy, it looked very cheap, so I didn't use it. The storage on the bottom part of the bassinet was okay for a few diapers, that's all. As a toybox, I don't recommend it. The bottom fell out so many times we finally bought a regular toy box and put this away. I'll use the bassinet for my 2nd baby as a downstairs napping place, but we won't use it as a toy box.

It is very easy to set up and take apart.

disappointed
This bassinet is not as sturdy as it should be considering I bought one out of the paper for $20 and it was a wicker weave and the base was stong. This one has CARDBOARD SIDES AND STAPLES HOLDING IT TOGETHER. It came bend in on the sides in delivery and generally I am very dissatissfied and will not order again.

Simple and does its job!
I love this bassinet. I bought because it wasn't as expensive as some of the others and because of the base that could be used as a storage for toys later.

The wheels must be sufficiently tightened or they will slide to the side when you move the bassinet around the room. The wheels slide to its side and out of the way so that the bassinet could be a rocker if you choose to be able to rock your baby.

The bassinet is light and easy to push around. I had to push the bassinet in the bathroom with me a few times in order to keep an eye on my baby when I had an upset stomach.

My baby now sleeps in the crib so I am now using the base of this bassinet as a toy chest. It works great and worth the money!

It fell apart with my daughter in it
This bassinet was a waste of money. After tax and shipping it cost over $100. I registered online and did not see it in person. From the moment I put it together it did not live up to my expectations. It does NOT have lights, sound, or vibrations. But the worst part was that it was falling apart from the beginning. It started with one wheel that always fell apart when it was moved, then another wheel. Then, a little while later it became very whobbly. Then, one night, with my 2 month old daughter inside, the frame completly fell to pieces. Thankfully, the top part where my daughter was sleeping is seperate and just fell flat on the ground. If you are looking for a crade or bassinet, I would not choose this one. I have seen countless other cradles that are cuter, and of better quality, and even cheaper, that I wish I could have gotten, but I've already wasted my money on this one.

LOVED IT AND USED IT FOR MONTHS!!
I loved it! It is pretty, and is white so can be for boy or girl. I love the night lite and that it has vibration and music. This is the best that I have seen and was definitly worth the money.

Great 2 in 1 Item
Easy to assemble item as it took me 15 minutes. Love the sturdy sides as they are much better than the metal ones I was seeing. Toy box will be useful later.

Worth the money
I have been very happy with this bassinet for the money. I did buy a different mattress from babysrus that was thicker. Overall it is very sturdy and serves its purpose. My daughter is now 13 weeks and almost too long for the bassinet and I am in the process of transferring her to her crib in her room. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a temporary bed for your baby I would definitely recommend this one. I probably will not use the toy box just because I will lone it out to my other friends when they have babies.
