This is the absolutely perfect set for my 5- year old. I love the little fun touches like the chalkboard so she can take a break in swinging and sliding to do some drawing. This is a sturdy set and took about 3ish hours for my husband and dad to set this up. This is perfect for a parents or grandparents home as it is a nice size without being too large. I was really impressed with the little pegs that you could walk up on to get to the chalkboard as well. The nice covering is perfect for a little shade from the sun as well while the kids use the chalk and can hide away for a bit! Perfect play set for a little backyard fun!
