We recently moved to Utah and were looking for a playset that wasn't wood (splintering) and not metal (rusting).  We found this plastic set and after reading all the reviews and some youtube reviews on this product purchased it for our 2 and 5 year old sons.  They LOVE it and play on it snow, rain or shine.  They can grow into it as they are too young to use the ladder yet but love to eat lunch in the bottom of the house and love the glider.  Great purchase!
