Kids love their new play set. Took my husband and I five days of 3-4 hours a day to put together (including unpacking and sorting the lumber from the boxes). The instructions were fairly easy to follow, a few were confusing but we got it figured out after a couple of trial and error. Biggest challenge honestly was keeping all the small parts, such as the screws, bolts, etc. in some sort of order. For as many bags of those parts as there were, it might have been a better idea for them to have been presorted into bags for each step instead of spending several minutes locating all the ones needed.
