My father in law put this together for us. He was very frustrated by the end, thankfully we were both at work lol. He said all of the directions were backwards. There was a huge sticker included on the directions that said for each time you need a green pole switch it to a tan pole and vice versa. It took him 5 hours to assemble because of having to constantly think opposite of the written directions. But overall it turned out nice. The kids love it. I can even climb on it as a 5’9 200lb adult. Happy with the end result despite the frustration. 3 stars because of the hassle.
