I looked at a lot of sets and finally selected Chateau because it offered so much. It has numerous activity stations that the children can grow with. Cheaper sets have smaller towers and less study structures. This set will accommodate multiple kids of all ages for a long time. And in the end, it offered more than some custom sets I looked at for almost twice the price.  



But most importantly, the children love it and will be able to enjoy it for years to come.
