This rocking horse arrives mostly assembled and is very easy to complete without any tools. It's very cute and nice that it's a three in one toy that can be used with the wheels to ride around, for rocking attached to its base, or as a balance toy just using the base. This toy will grow with your child. You need to put the eye stickers on when it arrives. Attaching the rocker base is super simple and easy to switch back and forth in minutes. Very cute toy that my grandkids will enjoy when they visit.
