Bought this for our granddaughter's birthday.  Assembly was a nightmare. It took an entire day just to sort the pieces. The next entire day was to assemble. Give yourself lots of time & try to recruit some help. It has to be cemented in ground to be stable. It will need to be waterproofed and had some edges that needed to be sanded.  All that said my granddaughter loves it. She's only 2 so I think it will serve her well in years to come.  I've looked at sets other places and the price is good.

Pros: Looks good   Lots of activities. Priced right
Cons: Nightmare to assemble. That's why only 4 stars
