We ordered the slide to attach to a play yard my husband was building for the grand children.  The slide arrived in a large plastic bag, which was open on one end.  The hardware was in a little closed bag, attached to the slide with tape, there were no instructions and the support boards were not in the bag.  There were a couple of bolts missing.  My husband, is very handy though and found bolts in his shop to replace those missing, and putting the slide is simple.  We did have to supply our support lumber, which was no big deal since we had that available to us, as well.  One thing we did do was to add more support to the upper section of the slide, so instead of 1 supported section we have 2 supported sections.  The slide seems much sturdier with the added support.  

Pros: Slick.  Sturdy with added support.  Sides provide increased safety.
Cons: Advertises weight limit of 250 pounds is deceiving because the slide isn't wide enough for a larger child to fit in between the sides.
