This play set was an Easter present for my 5 grandchildren, ages 7 mos to 13 years.  I needed something the older kids could climb on while the younger ones had a play area of their own.  This is perfect.  It fits well in our smallish back yard and only took up the space of the standard old swing set it replaced.  Beware though, building it is no easy task. I love that the wood is already treated, so it didn't need waterproofing. It is heavy and sturdy, and it took 3 contractors almost two 8 hour days to get it put together.  It's worth the effort though.  The kids will have years of fun on it.
