We really couldn't be happier with our picnic table! My four kids (ages 6, 5, 2 and 10 months) love their new sitting space! It's actually still in our living room because it's still winter where we live but it looks sturdy and will blend in with our forest playground well. It is helpful to have two adults work together to assemble but it's not necessary. There are areas needing to be screwed together. Step2 is a wonderful company with a great warranty and customer service...the reason we bought from them. Thank you Step2!
