My 5 and 6 year olds like this. Assembly was easy but time consuming and I only needed a second person for one step at the end. Initially I thought predrilled top holes didn't fit, but realized I just had to flex the sides to reach them. I wish I had pre-purchased mulch and surround materials for beneath. I live in a high wind area and this has held up to intense gusts (75-80mph) with the provided stakes.
