This was pretty easy to put together and it looks great in our playroom... the only reason I gave 4 stars is because we were missing a part (the little strap for child-proofing to keep it from tipping over)... which would have been nice to have, but not a huge deal or enough to make me want to send it back. I did try to go to the KidKraft website to request the missing part, but it said it was unavailable.
