We wanted this for my daughter’s 3rd birthday and shopped for a while. This play set has everything her little heart desires. Ordering was easy, shipping was fast, delivery was great. I told my husband to check the manual a few weeks before building it to get a gauge on the project and of course he opened it the day before her birthday. Have a few friends come help you sort out all of the pieces and another couple to help put it together. This beast took the whole 8-10 hours with two people to build. So we slapped a bow on it 3 days after her birthday and the surprise was just as sweet. Good lord there are so many pieces!
