The package arrived damage-free and in plenty of time to assemble Christmas Eve. Even in the rain and in the dark, Santa and I were able to assemble it without much trouble or sweating. Took about 2 hours to put together. It’s sturdy and the kids love it. After assembles we sprayed a protective clear sealant all over to protect it from
rain. I am writing this review almost 2 years after I bought the playhouse and it’s still standing!!
