Really simple and fun toy to toddler development! It came packaged in a large box disclosing its contents. Everything was in good shape and the instructions were straightforward.  Some may have trouble pushing the joints together, so be aware. Also, I used a drill to insert the screws not a manual screwdriver.  This should be a nice toy for our toddler as he learns to climb up and down. NOTE I wish the legs were also screwed in, but they are only snapped in and held in place mostly by the weight of the toy. I may add my own screws soon. Regardless, it seems sturdy.
