Pros:Durable,Hours of Fun,Attractive Design,Easy Assembly,Weather Resistant,Sturdy Best Uses:Individual Play,Group Play Describe Yourself:Working Parent,Parent Of Two Or More Children Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. This playset was purchased for my 6 and 12 year old daughters and they love it. Their friends play on it even when my children aren't home. It's sturdy and easy-to-assemble. In fact, I asked my 14 yr old son to assemble the playset as a project and he completed the build sooner than I expected. I was concerned about buying a playset on the internet without seeing the quality of the parts and construction up close but my anxiety was eliminated once the boxes arrived at my home.
