This is a fabulous beginner swing set! My boys (ages 6, 4 & 2) love it! The slide can be attached to either side, so it gives more flexibility in setup, which is nice! Took my husband about 2hrs total to assemble, but that was mainly because our boys were "helping" him a lot. (Wink, wink.) The set does not include anchors, so keep in mind that you will probably want to purchase some for safety reasons. Overall, we love this swingset and would definitely recommend it!
