Great value for the offering. Good quality product. Durable. Looks adorable. My son loves it (he is 4). All the neighborhood kids are always asking to come over and play on it. It took my husband an estimated 20 hours to assemble. He said it wasn't bad to assemble. We built sections in our garage and then carried the tower back to where it would be placed, and finished the final assembly in our backyard. We had all our parts - nothing was missing like I had seen mentioned on some reviews. All parts were packaged nicely - very organized. Came in 4 large boxes - fit in our garage. We did not have time to seal or stain it before assembly like it sates in the manual. If you have time I would do that before assembly. Pleased with the purchase.
