We wanted a decent playset that mimicked a small park. We have a 3 year old and 1.5 yrs. This is the most perfect size with perfect features. They have already spent hours upon hours in it. We bought the Go Configure assembly set up and couldn’t be happier. It would have taken days to put together ourselves with the intricate and separate pieces. This set is priced fairly for what you receive. Yes, it does need to be waterproofed with a quick sealant but again, you are saving money in the long run. I highly recommend the set but WITH assembly.
