This playset took a while to put together and is definitely not a one person job. However, it is sturdy and amazing. I searched for over a month for a playset that had no swings (we don't have the room in our yard) that would fit not just my 2 year old but my 8 year old and 6 year old as well. They LOVE this playset and there's so much room I can tell it will be fun for them to play on for years to come.
