I was looking for a smaller playset since my backyard is not huge and this fit the bill!  My kids were ecstatic when they saw it.  We love having a playset in our backyard.  When my twins are running around in circles around my feet begging to go to the park while I'm trying to make dinner, having this playset saves the day.  I can't believe how many fun things are packed into a small space.  You should expect for the assembly to take some time, and be sure to read the directions carefully, but that's to be expected with any playset so it's not a negative for me.
