I would have given this five stars, BUT, just like everyone said, the base is wonky and won't seem to attach correctly. Nevertheless, it functions just fine as a slide, although I'd be concerned if it were on a flat, smooth surface and not a carpet like we have it. I feel like the carpet is kind of holding it in place. Whatever, my boys love it (3 and 6) and it was easy for this mama to put together in fifteen minutes with little sweat and muscle. And you can't beat the price. This slide is originally $100 and even at cheaper places it was still almost $70. This was by far the cheapest. I'll take the wonky base for the price.
