We bought this for our sons (6, 4 & 1) and so happy we did! It’s perfect for them to climb, swing and grow into with the monkey bars. It’s very well made and sturdy. We debated creating a playground bedding and opted to simply place it on the most level part of our yard and while we needed to add a bit of top soil to level it out, it worked beautifully. Very happy with this play set - quality that’s affordable!
