We were looking for a playset that would last through all four of our kids. We live in the dry hot desert of California and nothing lasts long in the sun. Wood doesn't last long and cheep plastic breaks apart very quickly. This double slide deluxe had everything we were looking for. Another feature we were looking for was something that could be moved around if needed. This playset is heavy enough we didn't need to cement it down and all the kids can swing on it with out the fear of it toppling over. It has been a great addition to our back yard. We look forward to havinging this for a very long time.
