We bought this slide because we were wanting our son's play structure to fit in a back corner of our yard. The slide is perfect for this location and helps the structure to fit nicely.  We attached the slide to a 5 1/2 ft. deck, so it is fairly steep, but he loves it.  The only possible negative, although my 2 1/2 yr. old son doesn't mind, is that the slide shoots him out onto the ground at the bottom.  I think this is because it is attached at the higher side of the range and also because the slide doesn't have a long flat finish at the bottom to slow him down.  The slide ends very low to the ground though, so it isn't a hard landing and I think as he uses the slide more he will be able to catch himself.  The slide was easy to put together and is of a good quality.
