I bought this back in May of 2016 for my growing and very active son. It has been a great source for play, imagination, fun with friends, and hours in the tower. I loved that it wasn't wood and it would withstand the elements without worrying about decay and someone getting hurt. I got a supplemental third swing and attached it where the rings are and it works great when we have multiple kids playing. Totally worth the money and the time to put it together. It is definitely a task to put together but with some organization and a few strong people it's doable.
