set up probably took us 16 hours with 2 of us.  all material was in great condition with all pieces and parts and a few extra hardware just in case.  The 3-D instructions were very helpful, although the paper instructions were easy enough as well. We used playground wood mulch to finish the job and the kids are absolutely loving it.  So glad we bought this.  and what great timing, just what the kids needed to busy their minds it has helped us all emotionally while living through these crazy pandemic times!!!
