Playset is well designed for play, except for the ladder.  That is a bit precarious.   assembly is a mixed bag.   The manual was good most of the time, but lacked some key details that would have made things easier.  I had to figure some stuff out on my own.  Fortunately, I’m pretty handy, but thise with less construction experience may need to seek help. The videos on Youtube helped too.  Some holes don’t quite line up and some bolts are way too short.  I had to muscle a few things or dip into the extra hardware bag to make something up that would work.    Assembly took me about seven hours alone.  It might have gone faster if I wasn’t alone and it wasn’t 20F outside.  I would definitely buy this again though.
