Love our new playhouse. It feels very sturdy, looks beautiful and has a perfectly small footprint for our small yard. The instructions say it should take 2-4 hours to build the fort and 1-2 hours to put together the slide. I built it by myself (except for a few steps where I needed extra hands) and while it wasn’t too difficult, it took about 4 days (I don’t have much experience). One of the large panels that makes up almost half of the unit was a bit warped but was able to work around It and it’s not too obvious. I was pleasantly surprised that other than a small (and as it turns out, unnecessary) component of the “special weather caps” meant to cover the screws on the roof, no pieces were missing! I would purchase this again in a heartbeat (for about the sale price of $920 USD on Birchlane...it was less expensive than Wayfair and they did ship to Canada).
