Took my time putting it together. Took me two days (I'm a 66 yr old grandma) Put it together all by myself. Loved that everything was labeled. Only thing I found difficult was putting the legs into the top bar. My final solution was greasing the inside of the the top rack bar and dropping the legs in and lining up the holes. After the unit was assembled, had my son-in-law and daughter help me upright the swing set. That thing is HEAVY! My grandbabies love it. Tomorrow, I will anchor it. Definately needs to be anchored.
