First of all do not fooled by "all cedar" this is not made a cedar it is "Chinese cedar" which appeared to be pine sprayed reddish. A quick google and I knew "Chinese cedar" is really a fir tree. As a college educated person I found the directions frequently lacking important information and confusing. My father and I assembled it using his vast array of tools and we needed many many more of them than the instructions said we would. I am doubtful the average person would find this easy to assemble without advanced tool knowledge and access to said tools. The wood is low quality and many boards were warped and cracked. I am doubtful of the long term life of this swing set. Side note the delivery took forever and was rescheduled on us multiple times.
