We love the playset as we have a 17 month old who loves to play on the slide and so having one in our backyard is amazing. Assembly was not too bad lots of pieces but, the way they were organized made it easy to match them up. Set up time was a couple of hours and my husband was able to do it alone for the most part but got some help from my son from time to time. The set is pretty sturdy but I think the wood quality is not that great as there are some cracks from just drilling. Overall nightly satisfied and so is my little guy!!!
