It was exactly what I expected. It came in in time for my daughters 9th birthday and as I was expecting to have it up for her weekend Birthday party I had to have Heart Surgery and was feeling pretty bad that I knew I would not be able to move the parts around and do the work to have it ready in time. My oldest daughter gathered some of my friends together and much to my surprise as I arrived back home from Hospital they had it all put together. My daughter loves it and that is what matters most to me. Thank you Wayfair !!
