We bought this climber 8 years ago and only passed it to another family due to a move. Now it’s time for another so we bought it again. We expect it to last from crawling-K. Such a good investment for the early years, when too little for big playgrounds and nice to have in your own backyard. Only suggestion is for the directions in color, but easy enough to follow. we love how several kids can play at once. Great investment!
