This is a great solid set, the kids love it. I have been putting it together by my self for about 3 weeks now ,4 or 5 hours a day on the week days.I just need to put the swings on now. FInding the pieces were time consuming at first. It is like putting a puzzle together not hard but time consuming. I didn't have room to lay every thing out and leave it laying untill i got finished so i kept everything in the boxes. The packing slips in the boxes told me what piece were in what box. As there were less pieces left it got easier and easier. If you have time to put it together or want to pay to get it put together either way you will have a nice set and it is big enough any kid that plays on the set will be having fun..
