For the price, this is a great play set. It's not very big, which we knew and expected. Any more than 3 kids would be a crowd on it. The assembly was a nightmare. Recommend measuring, labeling, organizing, and inventorying every piece before you start. Instructions are there but vague and confusing. Took 2 adults a total of 7 hours to put together. Will need a stain to withstand our weather, the wood is not heavy duty or weatherproof at all. Swings are really low to the ground and not adjustable (we tied knots to shorten). Kids are loving it though! Overall for under $500 it's great.
