Our 5 yr old outgrew all our backyard toys this past year; her brother inherits them all...we have a challenging, sloped yard, so a large play structure was not an option...this climber is a perfect addition to our side yard/play area. It takes up minimal space, but provides hours of entertainment, not only physical, but lots of imagination play too. Was fairly simple to assemble as well. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to get good play value out of their $$$.
