I bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday a few months ago. It came nicely packaged, with everything labeled for easy installation. My husband and dad put it together in less than a day. My daughter absolutely loves it! We play on it every day, usually multiple times a day. It's definitely sturdy enough for me to play on it right there with her. It has been her pirate ship, clubhouse, airplane, restaurant, etc. So glad we got this for her!
