This is the second set I have bought in the last 10 years as a gift for our grandchild. The old set had a back which was larger. The back rest should be bigger and close that gap which will probably result in a child putting his head threw with possible injury. Also the holes for the screws were not all lined up. Many were off center. It was boxed well, and the wood is strong with good paint coverage. It stands up to kid abuse well. The other set I bought is still in good shape. Delivery was fast and the company is a pleasure to deal with.
