Terrific fit--both in terms of size but also for our 4-year old, who loves playing in it (dubbed "Dinosaur Castle Tea House"). It took my husband about 5 days to assemble it, working a few hours each day. There were only a few places that required two people--the turret, especially. A few minor splits in wood pieces and some shortages for some types of screws, but nothing major. As others have noted, the picnic table is a nice bonus. We are looking forward to many years of backyard fun!
