It took my husband almost 3 days to assemble this playground (few hours a day). The instructions were confusing and not clear, tons of parts - so the assembly definitely was not easy. It was also not as sturdy standing up, so we used a few wood blocks and nailed it to the ground some more. The playground itself isn’t the best of quality, but does the job. My daughter is 4 and she really enjoys the swings. It’s on the smaller side, so saves space in your backyard.
