We love this product, and so does our 3 year old son. It was super quick and easy to assemble. We have it in our living room for the winter, which we were worried about since our living room is tiny, but its not too big that it takes up the entire space. We did notice that if you try to lift it after it been assembled, it starts to come apart, so make sure you push it. We also were given four giant screws and directions on where to screw them in, but they didn't help keep the play set connected, so we just left them out. Not sure about how the weather will effect yet since its been inside. Overall, great investment!
