We ordered this for our 1 1/2 year old daughter. She loves climbing so we were trying to find something safe that would let her have fun, this is a perfect fit. We weren't sure if we wanted to spend as much on this one, but it is totally worth it, it combines features from several different playsets we looked at.  It only took her 2-3x to figure out how to climb into it. It is great - we have no complaints. I actually put it together with my Mother, instructions said it took 1 1/2 hours - I think we got it done in a little under that time.
