This playground is ok. Not as sturdy as ones that you can buy at playground specialty stores. I would have liked to see corner posts, for example, made of 4x4s, rather than 2x4s. It definitely has to be anchored down is anyone other than my one year old is using the swing and the anchors that come with it are not adequate. It took our handyman 10 hours to put together just to give folks an idea of the time frame for assembly. Knowing all that, I probably would opt to buy from a playground specialty story because all told- we spend about $1400 on this project after the original purchase, labor and extra material costs. For just a few hundred dollars more, I believe we would have gotten a sturdier unit.
