We bought this set for our son's third birthday. He loves going to the park, and since we can't walk to one, this set is the next best thing.This set was very easy to assemble, it took my (very unskilled) husband less than 5 hours.For us right now the only thing that isn't great is the climbing ladder on the side of the playhouse. Our 3 year old is not big enough to climb this and get into the clubhouse area.
