well i put it together and it looks sooooooo gorgeous!!!!!!! I tucked teddy into the sleeping bag and snuggled him all up - he looks very comfortable and settled very quickly!! I just can't wait to put my own little real person in it!! Fly by 4 months...! And in any case, the hammock will store much easier in the travel case than in the original box, so it was a good thing i have got it all out
