My husband spent 2 full days putting this together. It went together pretty easily, with a few small issues. Couldn't find the directions so called customer service, they were very nice. Eventually found them in the box with the roof panels which are the last thing to do. Kids love it! The space between the edge of the platform and the climbing wall was a little nerve wracking for us with a 3.5 and 1.5 year old, but it's hard to see that in pics.
