This was pretty easy to put together but would definitely be easier with two people working together. Just pay attention to how you’re putting each piece together because some pieces had to be removed and flipped over a few steps later because we weren’t paying close enough attention instructions were a bit unclear. Overall my daughter loves it and I’m very pleased with this purchase, it helped make moving a little easier for a young kid that might struggle with such a big change. Drape some sheets over and it’s an instant fortclubhouse. Cannot vouch for durability as we’ve only had it up a few days but it seems good, hoping to get at least 3 or 4 years of use out of it.
